API to update email verification state

[gurupras]

Programmatically verifying user's email ID

Problem

We're migrating users into FusionAuth, and many of these users have already verified their email. Ideally, we'd like to set theverified field to true on these accounts. However, we're unable to do both during registration and via updates using /api/user/ endpoint.

Solution

Please provide a programmatic mechanism to update the email verification state.

Alternatives/workarounds

No workaround AFAIK.
The closest solution seems to be skipVerification, but these are neither admin accounts nor internal users. Also, setting skipVerification: true continues to send out verification emails when performing a bulk import and also shows emails as not being verified.

skipVerification | Indicates to FusionAuth that it should skip email verification even if it is enabled. This is useful for creating admin or internal User accounts.

For migrating users, you'll want to use the Import API.

https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users#import-users

It looks like we may be missing the verified field for this API in the documentation, but it should work.

Can you try using the Import API and see if that works for you?

Hello,
@robotdan In import api it works fine but what about situation when you want to migrate users with verified=false and after some actions(decision from another systems) update verified value via api?
