Unexpected behavior when updation of talawa admin members profile.

[Devesh326]

Describe the bug

This bug report pertains to an issue encountered in the Talawa-Admin platform, where:

1. When attempting to update a member's profile, it seems to require changing the email ID.
2. Despite updating the profile, the member's actual profile remains unchanged. Instead, the user's (your) profile credentials are updated to match the member's credentials.

Issue Link raised in Talawa Admin repository
PalisadoesFoundation/talawa-admin#1473

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Talawa Admin website
2. Click on your profile at the bottom left
3. Click People Tab on the sidebar
4. Press users checkbox and update a members profile

Expected behavior

1. When a user updates a member's profile, the member's profile should get updated even if only the name is edited.
2. After updating the member's profile, it should not affect the user's (your) profile.

Additional details
Modifications have been made in Talawa-Admin to address this issue, which also requires corresponding adjustments in Talawa-API.

No, in this particular issue, even if the superadmin tries to update the member's profile, it doesnt get updated. Rather the root user's profile gets updated. I have fixed the issue from the frontend but it also requires some changes in the backend.

@Devesh326 should a superadmin be allowed to edit any field of any user's profile?

and even if they are, the resolver logic is incorrect, there is no check in place for whether the person trying to update the profile is a superadmin or not

@xoldyckk

It's a question of trust. Just like a bank customer service representative can modify your account information, just like you can in the banking app.

We will need to figure out how protections should be done in practice, but the basic editing capability is needed at this stage
