This API requires a valid JWT token for authentication. Ensure that the token is included in the authorization header as Bearer \<JWT Token>.

- Ensure that the id in the request body matches the user whose status you want to manage.
- The request must include a valid JWT token for authentication. Without it, the request will be rejected with a 401 Unauthorized error.
