Governed ability
Update user ACF fields
aafm/acf-update-user-fields Guarded write
Writes ACF field values on a user by field key, each value sanitized for its field type. Requires edit access to that user.
How it is governed
The same model as every ability in the plugin, stated for this one.
- Off until you enable it
Like every ability, Update user ACF fields ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.
- Guarded write
Writes stay conservative, and the plugin re-checks the capability before the call runs.
- Capability gated
A connection only sees Update user ACF fields if the user you connected can run it, and the plugin checks that capability again before it executes.
- Every call audited
The call is written to the log in your own database, denials included, with the argument keys but never the values.

Write a new office_location value into the ACF fields for user 5.
These are illustrative example prompts. The agent runs them as the user you connected, checked against that user's capabilities and written to your audit log.
