Set a user timezone through REST API

Is there a way to set another user's timezone from the REST API? My user account with edit_user capability cannot change the timezone of other users, although I can update roles, change passwords, etc. If i try to update another user's timezone setting I see "Argument 'tz' is not supported by this handler" while the same call will work for the user account that is issuing the REST call.

While this does kinda seem like a bug, is there a known workaround? I am able to do it with capability admin_all_objects, but don't want to do that for security reasons etc.

you might be using a wrong HTTP method , try to do POST and it works.
