update-user-pool¶

Description¶

Note

This action might generate an SMS text message. Starting June 1, 2021, US telecom carriers require you to register an origination phone number before you can send SMS messages to US phone numbers. If you use SMS text messages in Amazon Cognito, you must register a phone number with Amazon Pinpoint . Amazon Cognito uses the registered number automatically. Otherwise, Amazon Cognito users who must receive SMS messages might not be able to sign up, activate their accounts, or sign in.

If you have never used SMS text messages with Amazon Cognito or any other Amazon Web Services service, Amazon Simple Notification Service might place your account in the SMS sandbox. In * sandbox mode * , you can send messages only to verified phone numbers. After you test your app while in the sandbox environment, you can move out of the sandbox and into production. For more information, see SMS message settings for Amazon Cognito user pools in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .

Updates the specified user pool with the specified attributes. You can get a list of the current user pool settings using DescribeUserPool .

Warning

If you don't provide a value for an attribute, Amazon Cognito sets it to its default value.

Note

Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.

Options¶

--user-pool-id (string)

The ID of the user pool you want to update.

--policies (structure)

A container with the policies you want to update in a user pool.

PasswordPolicy -> (structure)

The password policy settings for a user pool, including complexity, history, and length requirements.

MinimumLength -> (integer)

The minimum length of the password in the policy that you have set. This value can't be less than 6.

RequireUppercase -> (boolean)

The requirement in a password policy that users must include at least one uppercase letter in their password.

RequireLowercase -> (boolean)

The requirement in a password policy that users must include at least one lowercase letter in their password.

RequireNumbers -> (boolean)

The requirement in a password policy that users must include at least one number in their password.

RequireSymbols -> (boolean)

The requirement in a password policy that users must include at least one symbol in their password.

PasswordHistorySize -> (integer)

The number of previous passwords that you want Amazon Cognito to restrict each user from reusing. Users can't set a password that matches any of n previous passwords, where n is the value of PasswordHistorySize .

Password history isn't enforced and isn't displayed in DescribeUserPool responses when you set this value to 0 or don't provide it. To activate this setting, advanced security features must be active in your user pool.

TemporaryPasswordValidityDays -> (integer)

The number of days a temporary password is valid in the password policy. If the user doesn't sign in during this time, an administrator must reset their password. Defaults to 7 . If you submit a value of 0 , Amazon Cognito treats it as a null value and sets TemporaryPasswordValidityDays to its default value.

Note
When you set TemporaryPasswordValidityDays for a user pool, you can no longer set a value for the legacy UnusedAccountValidityDays parameter in that user pool.

SignInPolicy -> (structure)

The policy for allowed types of authentication in a user pool.

AllowedFirstAuthFactors -> (list)

The sign-in methods that a user pool supports as the first factor. You can permit users to start authentication with a standard username and password, or with other one-time password and hardware factors.

(string)

--user-attribute-update-settings (structure)

The settings for updates to user attributes. These settings include the property AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate , a user-pool setting that tells Amazon Cognito how to handle changes to the value of your users' email address and phone number attributes. For more information, see Verifying updates to email addresses and phone numbers .

AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate -> (list)

Requires that your user verifies their email address, phone number, or both before Amazon Cognito updates the value of that attribute. When you update a user attribute that has this option activated, Amazon Cognito sends a verification message to the new phone number or email address. Amazon Cognito doesn’t change the value of the attribute until your user responds to the verification message and confirms the new value.

You can verify an updated email address or phone number with a VerifyUserAttribute API request. You can also call the AdminUpdateUserAttributes API and set email_verified or phone_number_verified to true.

When AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate is false, your user pool doesn't require that your users verify attribute changes before Amazon Cognito updates them. In a user pool where AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate is false, API operations that change attribute values can immediately update a user’s email or phone_number attribute.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate": ["phone_number"|"email", ...]
}

--mfa-configuration (string)

Possible values include:

OFF - MFA tokens aren't required and can't be specified during user registration.

ON - MFA tokens are required for all user registrations. You can only specify ON when you're initially creating a user pool. You can use the SetUserPoolMfaConfig API operation to turn MFA "ON" for existing user pools.

OPTIONAL - Users have the option when registering to create an MFA token.

Possible values:

OFF

ON

OPTIONAL

--device-configuration (structure)

The device-remembering configuration for a user pool. A null value indicates that you have deactivated device remembering in your user pool.

Note
When you provide a value for any DeviceConfiguration field, you activate the Amazon Cognito device-remembering feature.

ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice -> (boolean)

When true, a remembered device can sign in with device authentication instead of SMS and time-based one-time password (TOTP) factors for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Note
Whether or not ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice is true, users who sign in with devices that have not been confirmed or remembered must still provide a second factor in a user pool that requires MFA.

DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt -> (boolean)

When true, Amazon Cognito doesn't automatically remember a user's device when your app sends a ConfirmDevice API request. In your app, create a prompt for your user to choose whether they want to remember their device. Return the user's choice in an UpdateDeviceStatus API request.

When DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt is false , Amazon Cognito immediately remembers devices that you register in a ConfirmDevice API request.

Shorthand Syntax:

ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice=boolean,DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice": true|false,
  "DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt": true|false
}

--email-configuration (structure)

The email configuration of your user pool. The email configuration type sets your preferred sending method, Amazon Web Services Region, and sender for email invitation and verification messages from your user pool.

SourceArn -> (string)

The ARN of a verified email address or an address from a verified domain in Amazon SES. You can set a SourceArn email from a verified domain only with an API request. You can set a verified email address, but not an address in a verified domain, in the Amazon Cognito console. Amazon Cognito uses the email address that you provide in one of the following ways, depending on the value that you specify for the EmailSendingAccount parameter:

If you specify COGNITO_DEFAULT , Amazon Cognito uses this address as the custom FROM address when it emails your users using its built-in email account.

If you specify DEVELOPER , Amazon Cognito emails your users with this address by calling Amazon SES on your behalf.

The Region value of the SourceArn parameter must indicate a supported Amazon Web Services Region of your user pool. Typically, the Region in the SourceArn and the user pool Region are the same. For more information, see Amazon SES email configuration regions in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .

ReplyToEmailAddress -> (string)

The destination to which the receiver of the email should reply.

EmailSendingAccount -> (string)

Specifies whether Amazon Cognito uses its built-in functionality to send your users email messages, or uses your Amazon Simple Email Service email configuration. Specify one of the following values:

COGNITO_DEFAULT

When Amazon Cognito emails your users, it uses its built-in email functionality. When you use the default option, Amazon Cognito allows only a limited number of emails each day for your user pool. For typical production environments, the default email limit is less than the required delivery volume. To achieve a higher delivery volume, specify DEVELOPER to use your Amazon SES email configuration.

To look up the email delivery limit for the default option, see Limits in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .

The default FROM address is no-reply@verificationemail.com . To customize the FROM address, provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon SES verified email address for the SourceArn parameter.

DEVELOPER

When Amazon Cognito emails your users, it uses your Amazon SES configuration. Amazon Cognito calls Amazon SES on your behalf to send email from your verified email address. When you use this option, the email delivery limits are the same limits that apply to your Amazon SES verified email address in your Amazon Web Services account.

If you use this option, provide the ARN of an Amazon SES verified email address for the SourceArn parameter.

Before Amazon Cognito can email your users, it requires additional permissions to call Amazon SES on your behalf. When you update your user pool with this option, Amazon Cognito creates a service-linked role , which is a type of role in your Amazon Web Services account. This role contains the permissions that allow you to access Amazon SES and send email messages from your email address. For more information about the service-linked role that Amazon Cognito creates, see Using Service-Linked Roles for Amazon Cognito in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .

From -> (string)

Either the sender’s email address or the sender’s name with their email address. For example, testuser@example.com or Test User <testuser@example.com> . This address appears before the body of the email.

ConfigurationSet -> (string)

The set of configuration rules that can be applied to emails sent using Amazon Simple Email Service. A configuration set is applied to an email by including a reference to the configuration set in the headers of the email. Once applied, all of the rules in that configuration set are applied to the email. Configuration sets can be used to apply the following types of rules to emails:

Event publishing

Amazon Simple Email Service can track the number of send, delivery, open, click, bounce, and complaint events for each email sent. Use event publishing to send information about these events to other Amazon Web Services services such as and Amazon CloudWatch

IP pool management

When leasing dedicated IP addresses with Amazon Simple Email Service, you can create groups of IP addresses, called dedicated IP pools. You can then associate the dedicated IP pools with configuration sets.

Shorthand Syntax:

SourceArn=string,ReplyToEmailAddress=string,EmailSendingAccount=string,From=string,ConfigurationSet=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "SourceArn": "string",
  "ReplyToEmailAddress": "string",
  "EmailSendingAccount": "COGNITO_DEFAULT"|"DEVELOPER",
  "From": "string",
  "ConfigurationSet": "string"
}

--sms-configuration (structure)

The SMS configuration with the settings that your Amazon Cognito user pool must use to send an SMS message from your Amazon Web Services account through Amazon Simple Notification Service. To send SMS messages with Amazon SNS in the Amazon Web Services Region that you want, the Amazon Cognito user pool uses an Identity and Access Management (IAM) role in your Amazon Web Services account.

SnsCallerArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon SNS caller. This is the ARN of the IAM role in your Amazon Web Services account that Amazon Cognito will use to send SMS messages. SMS messages are subject to a spending limit .

ExternalId -> (string)

The external ID provides additional security for your IAM role. You can use an ExternalId with the IAM role that you use with Amazon SNS to send SMS messages for your user pool. If you provide an ExternalId , your Amazon Cognito user pool includes it in the request to assume your IAM role. You can configure the role trust policy to require that Amazon Cognito, and any principal, provide the ExternalID . If you use the Amazon Cognito Management Console to create a role for SMS multi-factor authentication (MFA), Amazon Cognito creates a role with the required permissions and a trust policy that demonstrates use of the ExternalId .

For more information about the ExternalId of a role, see How to use an external ID when granting access to your Amazon Web Services resources to a third party .

SnsRegion -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services Region to use with Amazon SNS integration. You can choose the same Region as your user pool, or a supported Legacy Amazon SNS alternate Region .

Amazon Cognito resources in the Asia Pacific (Seoul) Amazon Web Services Region must use your Amazon SNS configuration in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region. For more information, see SMS message settings for Amazon Cognito user pools .

Shorthand Syntax:

SnsCallerArn=string,ExternalId=string,SnsRegion=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "SnsCallerArn": "string",
  "ExternalId": "string",
  "SnsRegion": "string"
}

--user-pool-tags (map)

The tag keys and values to assign to the user pool. A tag is a label that you can use to categorize and manage user pools in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--admin-create-user-config (structure)

The configuration for AdminCreateUser requests.

AllowAdminCreateUserOnly -> (boolean)

The setting for allowing self-service sign-up. When true , only administrators can create new user profiles. When false , users can register themselves and create a new user profile with the SignUp operation.

UnusedAccountValidityDays -> (integer)

This parameter is no longer in use. Configure the duration of temporary passwords with the TemporaryPasswordValidityDays parameter of PasswordPolicyType . For older user pools that have a UnusedAccountValidityDays configuration, that value is effective until you set a value for TemporaryPasswordValidityDays .

The password expiration limit in days for administrator-created users. When this time expires, the user can't sign in with their temporary password. To reset the account after that time limit, you must call AdminCreateUser again, specifying RESEND for the MessageAction parameter.

The default value for this parameter is 7.

InviteMessageTemplate -> (structure)

The template for the welcome message to new users. This template must include the {####} temporary password placeholder if you are creating users with passwords. If your users don't have passwords, you can omit the placeholder.

See also Customizing User Invitation Messages .

SMSMessage -> (string)

The message template for SMS messages.

EmailMessage -> (string)

The message template for email messages. EmailMessage is allowed only if EmailSendingAccount is DEVELOPER.

EmailSubject -> (string)

The subject line for email messages. EmailSubject is allowed only if EmailSendingAccount is DEVELOPER.

Shorthand Syntax:

AllowAdminCreateUserOnly=boolean,UnusedAccountValidityDays=integer,InviteMessageTemplate={SMSMessage=string,EmailMessage=string,EmailSubject=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "AdvancedSecurityMode": "OFF"|"AUDIT"|"ENFORCED",
  "AdvancedSecurityAdditionalFlows": {
    "CustomAuthMode": "AUDIT"|"ENFORCED"
  }
}

--account-recovery-setting (structure)

The available verified method a user can use to recover their password when they call ForgotPassword . You can use this setting to define a preferred method when a user has more than one method available. With this setting, SMS doesn't qualify for a valid password recovery mechanism if the user also has SMS multi-factor authentication (MFA) activated. In the absence of this setting, Amazon Cognito uses the legacy behavior to determine the recovery method where SMS is preferred through email.

RecoveryMechanisms -> (list)

The list of options and priorities for user message delivery in forgot-password operations. Sets or displays user pool preferences for email or SMS message priority, whether users should fall back to a second delivery method, and whether passwords should only be reset by administrators.

(structure)

A recovery option for a user. The AccountRecoverySettingType data type is an array of this object. Each RecoveryOptionType has a priority property that determines whether it is a primary or secondary option.

For example, if verified_email has a priority of 1 and verified_phone_number has a priority of 2 , your user pool sends account-recovery messages to a verified email address but falls back to an SMS message if the user has a verified phone number. The admin_only option prevents self-service account recovery.

This data type is a request and response parameter of CreateUserPool and UpdateUserPool , and a response parameter of DescribeUserPool .

Priority -> (integer)

Your priority preference for using the specified attribute in account recovery. The highest priority is 1 .

Name -> (string)

The recovery method that this object sets a recovery option for.

Shorthand Syntax:

RecoveryMechanisms=[{Priority=integer,Name=string},{Priority=integer,Name=string}]

JSON Syntax:

    {
      "Priority": integer,
      "Name": "verified_email"|"verified_phone_number"|"admin_only"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--pool-name (string)

The updated name of your user pool.

--user-pool-tier (string)

The user pool feature plan , or tier. This parameter determines the eligibility of the user pool for features like managed login, access-token customization, and threat protection. Defaults to ESSENTIALS .

Possible values:

LITE
