Problem
When using the VSA REST API to disable a user as explained in our help section. You get the following error message:
{'ResponseCode': 500, 'Status': 'Failed', 'Error': 'Nullable object must have a value.'}
Cause
There is an attribute missing from the user's record, the "DisableUntil" from the JSON response.

Resolution or Workaround
- We need to grab the user details, by using the Get User API endpoint.
- Grab the json body, and modify the DisableUntil or replace the null with "1980-01-01T00:00:00" [Update the Disable Until to something like "1980-01-01T00:00:00"]
- Then we can update the user to ensure the DisableUntil has a valid date.
- Use the Update User REST API endpoint.

Make sure to send the entire details as a body in the API call.
NOTE: The user used for the API call must have a matching Role and Scope ID to the user that you are modifying.
