Use AdminSetUserPassword with an AWS SDK

The following code example shows how to use AdminSetUserPassword.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

Go
SDK for Go V2

import (
	"context"
	"errors"
	"log"

	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/cognitoidentityprovider"

)

type CognitoActions struct {
	CognitoClient *cognitoidentityprovider.Client
}



// AdminSetUserPassword uses administrator credentials to set a password for a user without requiring a
// temporary password.
func (actor CognitoActions) AdminSetUserPassword(ctx context.Context, userPoolId string, userName string, password string) error {
	_, err := actor.CognitoClient.AdminSetUserPassword(ctx, &cognitoidentityprovider.AdminSetUserPasswordInput{

		Permanent:  true,
	})
	if err != nil {
		var invalidPassword *types.InvalidPasswordException

			log.Println(*invalidPassword.Message)
		} else {
			log.Printf("Couldn't set password for user %v. Here's why: %v\n", userName, err)
		}
	}
	return err
}
