Can't update other's sharepoint user profile by REST API even though I am already an administrator
Hi,
Thanks for your response!
I am using Sharepoint Online, and I am global administrator in Office 365. Do you know how to check whether I am SharePoint Admin/Tenant Admin permission? And how to grant SharePoint Admin/Tenant Admin permission to me?
Go to the below URL
https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/users
Which will list you all the users's if you have enough permissions, then click on the username and you can find a popup opens from the left. Roles section will tell your permission on the tenant.
Thanks,

As you can see, I am already a global administrator. But I still can not edit other's sharepoint profile. Is there any other settings for administrator permission comes to your mind?
You have enough permissions!!
Do you have issue with any specific user property or you are not able to update any of the properties of other user ?
Thanks,

Any of the properties.
If "Allow user to edit values for this property" is checked, then I can edit mine, but can't edit others (error code -2147024891, UnauthorizedAccessException, Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource).
If unchecked, I can't even update mine(error code 1, PropertyNotEditableException, Property Not Editable: This property can only be modified by an administrator.)
Below is the check box I mentioned in the sharepoint admin center
