Use UpdateUserPool with an AWS SDK or CLI

The following code examples show how to use UpdateUserPool.

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 examples:

• Automatically confirm known users with a Lambda function

• Automatically migrate known users with a Lambda function

• Write custom activity data with a Lambda function after Amazon Cognito user authentication

CLI

AWS CLI

To update a user pool

The following update-user-pool example modifies a user pool with example syntax for each of the available configuration options. To update a user pool, you must specify all previously-configured options or they will reset to a default value.

aws cognito-idp update-user-pool --user-pool-id us-west-2_EXAMPLE \
    --policies PasswordPolicy=\{MinimumLength=6,RequireUppercase=true,RequireLowercase=true,RequireNumbers=true,RequireSymbols=true,TemporaryPasswordValidityDays=7\} \
    --deletion-protection ACTIVE \
    --lambda-config PreSignUp="arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:cognito-test-presignup-function",PreTokenGeneration="arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:cognito-test-pretoken-function" \
    --auto-verified-attributes "phone_number" "email" \
    --verification-message-template \{\"SmsMessage\":\""Your code is {####}"\",\"EmailMessage\":\""Your code is {####}"\",\"EmailSubject\":\""Your verification code"\",\"EmailMessageByLink\":\""Click {##here##} to verify your email address."\",\"EmailSubjectByLink\":\""Your verification link"\",\"DefaultEmailOption\":\"CONFIRM_WITH_LINK\"\} \
    --sms-authentication-message "Your code is {####}" \
    --user-attribute-update-settings AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate="email","phone_number" \
    --mfa-configuration "OPTIONAL" \
    --device-configuration ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice=true,DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt=true \
    --email-configuration SourceArn="arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:123456789012:identity/[e-mail]",ReplyToEmailAddress="[e-mail]",EmailSendingAccount=DEVELOPER,From="[e-mail]",ConfigurationSet="test-configuration-set" \
    --sms-configuration SnsCallerArn="arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/service-role/SNS-SMS-Role",ExternalId="12345",SnsRegion="us-west-2" \
    --admin-create-user-config AllowAdminCreateUserOnly=false,InviteMessageTemplate=\{SMSMessage=\""Welcome {username}. Your confirmation code is {####}"\",EmailMessage=\""Welcome {username}. Your confirmation code is {####}"\",EmailSubject=\""Welcome to MyMobileGame"\"\} \
    --user-pool-tags "Function"="MyMobileGame","Developers"="Berlin" \
    --admin-create-user-config AllowAdminCreateUserOnly=false,InviteMessageTemplate=\{SMSMessage=\""Welcome {username}. Your confirmation code is {####}"\",EmailMessage=\""Welcome {username}. Your confirmation code is {####}"\",EmailSubject=\""Welcome to MyMobileGame"\"\} \
    --user-pool-add-ons AdvancedSecurityMode="AUDIT" \
    --account-recovery-setting RecoveryMechanisms=\[\{Priority=1,Name="verified_email"\},\{Priority=2,Name="verified_phone_number"\}\]

This command produces no output.
