# updateAccountPermissions <TitleWithCodeLink2 link="updateAccountPermissions" />

Create a unsigned transaction to update permission of account. The permission is used for multi-sign. See more about [`Multi Signature`](https://developers.tron.network/docs/multi-signature);

## Usage

``` javascript
let ownerAddress = 'your address';
let ownerPermission = { type: 0, permission_name: 'owner' };
ownerPermission.threshold = 2;
ownerPermission.keys  = [];

let activePermission = { type: 2, permission_name: 'active0' };
activePermission.threshold = 3;
activePermission.operations = '7fff1fc0037e0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000';
activePermission.keys = [];

ownerPermission.keys.push({ address: 'address1', weight: 1 });
ownerPermission.keys.push({ address: 'address2', weight: 1 });
activePermission.keys.push({ address: 'address1', weight: 1 });
activePermission.keys.push({ address: 'address2', weight: 1 });

const updateTransaction = await tronWeb.transactionBuilder.updateAccountPermissions(ownerAddress, ownerPermission, null, [activePermission]);
```

## Parameters
|Argument|Description|Type|
|--------|-----------|----|
| ownerAddress | The address is the owner who will update permission. | String        |
| ownerPermissions | `{ "type":0, "permission_name":"owner","threshold":2, "keys":[{"address":"xxxxxxxx","weight":1},{"address":"xxxxxxxx","weight":1}]}`. `type` must be `0` which means owner. | Object        |
| witnessPermissions         | `{"type":1,"permission_name":"witness"}`. Normal user must pass `null` value. This parameter could be used only for super representative who will generate blocks. | Object        |
| activesPermissions | `[{"type":2, "permission_name":"active0", "threshold":2,"operations":"7fff1fc0037e0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000","keys":[{"address":"xxxxxxxx","weight":1},{"address":"xxxxxxxx","weight":1}]}]`. `type` must be `2` which means active permission.      | Array         |
|options|Permission id for multi-signature and block header for contract block header info.                      | `{ permissionId: number, blockHeader: ... }` |

## Returns
Unsigned transaction object.
