Update user profile on MongoDB Stitch

Question

I've been able to do a register and login using MongoDB Stitch but I can't find how to update a user's data. I've tried making queries to db.users or db.user but these don't exist.

Is there a method to update a user?

I communicated with support and they told me that there is no way to update a user's profile as they are stored in a internal database that is not accesible to the developer. I suggested that this must be explained in the guides but they didn't (or I couldn't find it, please comment and I'll edit).

You can manage users via the MongoDB Stitch admin console. It provides an interface for managing existing users, and creating new users with certain authentication providers.

See also MongoDB Stitch: User Management to view the procedures.

You may also be interested in Authentication Providers, which is a list of mechanisms of which a particular user is able to authenticate with. i.e. Google and Facebook OAuth2-based, etc.
