 * Hi there,
 * We’re wondering if the plugin can be used to modify user data – such as user 
   roles – without being tied to user creation. Can roles of existing users be modified
   using JWT?
 * Thanks,
    W

 * Hello Will,
 * Yes. You can modify the user roles.
    You need to enable [Allow jwt usage on all enpoints](https://simplejwtlogin.com/docs#allow-jwt-usage-on-all-endpoints).
 * After this, you can update the user using the WordPress REST [enpoint](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/users/)
   and pass the JWT in the request.
 * Let me know if this works for you.
 * Best regards,
    Nicu.
