# Task 2: Configure Your Test User

The Configure Your Test User endpoints perform the following actions:

* Update (or create) a population.

* Update (or create) a user.

* Set the user's password.

* Enable MFA for the user.

* Set an MFA device for the user.

* Assign an application role to a user.

The Show Permissions In Token workflow requires a valid user to assign to a group. The Postman collection that accompanies this flow references the user that you created in *Getting Started*, Task 2.

## What you'll do

You will update the user that you created in *Getting Started*, Task 2 for this flow.

* POST request to assign application roles to the specified user..

If you haven't completed [Task 2: Create a test environment](../../../getting-started/create-a-test-environment.html), do that first.

|   | If you choose to use an alternate test user, be aware that the variables in the Postman collection point to the Task 2 test user's ID property value. You must change this value manually either in your Postman environment or in the endpoint's request body to authenticate the alternate test user. |
