parse-server updating an existing user field?

What I am trying to do: I am using parse server with javaScript SDK to change a field value for an already existing user.

The code that i am using

 var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
        query.equalTo("username", "someUserName");

          query.find({
              success: function(users){
                  console.log("user found", users);
                   users.set("name", "new name");
                   users.save(null,{
                    success: function(updated){
                   //worked
                  },
                  error: function(error, updated){
                    //didn't work
                   }
                 });

       },
      error: function(error, users){
            console.error("error at querying: ", error);
       }
   });

The issue : this does not update the name field value.

What i have discovered from researching this issue : seems like i have to utilize the sessioToken or/and masterKey like this(show below) but that also did not work.

  users.save(null,{useMasterKey:true}{
            success: function(updated){
               //worked
               }

I am quite confused at the moment, any help would be appreciated.

Your master key or session token should be the first parameter.Have a look at the Parse.Object.save API

https://www.parse.com/docs/js/api/classes/Parse.Object.html

Try something like this

users.save({useMasterKey:true}, {
        success: function(updated){
           //worked
        }
        error: function(err){
        }
});
