# Method name: updateMember(_id: string, member: UpdateMember)

# Method package: wixMembersV2

# Method menu location: wixMembersV2 --> members --> updateMember

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-members-v2/members/update-member.md

# Method Description:

Updates a member's properties.

Only the requested fields are updated.
To clear a field's value, set an empty value with an empty string `""`.

> **Note:**
> Updating the `contact.addresses`, `contact.emails`, or `contact.phones` array overwrites the entire array, so any existing values you want to retain must be passed in the `updateMember()` call along with the new values to add.
> However, passing an empty array will have no effect, and these functions must be used to clear all data from the respective array:
>- To clear `contact.addresses`, use `deleteMemberAddresses()`.
>- To clear `contact.emails`, use `deleteMemberEmails()`.
>- To clear `contact.phones`, use `deleteMemberPhones()`.

> **Note:**
> Only logged-in members can call this function without elevated permissions.
> To call this function as a different identity, [elevated permissions](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-auth/elevate) are required.
