I have my Okta org managed by Active Directory, I am using the Okta APIs to update user information. I get this error however:

Can you please explain what is raising this error? It sounds like the issue you're running into is that you're trying to modify a user's profile that is stored somewhere else (e.g., Active Directory). Is that the case?
