# Which Problems Are Solved
The user service v2 didn't allow the specify or change the access token
type for users of type machine and referred to using the management API,
which in return was already deprecated and linked to the user service.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added a possibility to specify the access token type in the creation and
update request.
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- closes#10850
- requires backport to v4.x

# Which Problems Are Solved
This PR fixes the self-management of users for metadata and own removal
and improves the corresponding permission checks.
While looking into the problems, I also noticed that there's a bug in
the metadata mapping when using `api.metadata.push` in actions v1 and
that re-adding a previously existing key after its removal was not
possible.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added a parameter `allowSelfManagement` to checkPermissionOnUser to
not require a permission if a user is changing its own data.
- Updated use of `NewPermissionCheckUserWrite` including prevention of
self-management for metadata.
- Pass permission check to the command side (for metadata functions) to
allow it implicitly for login v1 and actions v1.
- Use of json.Marshal for the metadata mapping (as with
`AppendMetadata`)
- Check the metadata state when comparing the value.
# Additional Changes
- added a variadic `roles` parameter to the `CreateOrgMembership`
integration test helper function to allow defining specific roles.
# Additional Context
- noted internally while testing v4.1.x
- requires backport to v4.x
- closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/10470
- relates to https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/10426
# Which Problems Are Solved
This pull request addresses a significant gap in the user service v2
API, which currently lacks methods for managing machine users.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds new API endpoints to the user service v2 to manage machine
users including their secret, keys and personal access tokens.
Additionally, there's now a CreateUser and UpdateUser endpoints which
allow to create either a human or machine user and update them. The
existing `CreateHumanUser` endpoint has been deprecated along the
corresponding management service endpoints. For details check the
additional context section.
# Additional Context
