On 30Aug2022 it's going to be mandatory having a Persona in the Frontdoor user records (link).
I would like to mass-update all our users with the corresponding Personas, as we already have them in the Usage project.
The Frontdoor API allows updating fields for users. So far I have managed to define individual ones, but not more that one at a time.
Is there any magic JSON syntax to achieve this, please?

In the meantime, I'm looking at writing some Python code that would serialize the updates. Any tips here, greatly appreciated.

You can read my (Bill's?) findings about the Frontdoor API using Postman and Python in my new post, Bill and Cerberus (link).

The API only supports one user at a time, but I wrote a Python script that makes all the calls one after the other. It worked!
I'll write a blog post about it soon.
