Update Individual

Updates an indivdual in Ninth Brain. While you can construct the request from scratch, a more reliable workflow is to get the current indivdual using an existing endpoint such as ‘GetByEmployeeNumber’, ‘GetByUniqueIdentifier’, or ‘GetByNBSId’, update as needed and then post to the Update endpoint. This is will ensure only the fields you expect change.
