UpdateUserPool

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 AWS 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.

Important

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

Note

Amazon Cognito evaluates AWS 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.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

AccountRecoverySetting

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.

Type: AccountRecoverySettingType object

Required: No

AdminCreateUserConfig

The configuration for AdminCreateUser requests.

Type: AdminCreateUserConfigType object

Required: No

AutoVerifiedAttributes

The attributes that are automatically verified when Amazon Cognito requests to update user pools.

Type: Array of strings

Valid Values: phone_number | email

Required: No

DeletionProtection

When active, DeletionProtection prevents accidental deletion of your user pool. Before you can delete a user pool that you have protected against deletion, you must deactivate this feature.

When you try to delete a protected user pool in a DeleteUserPool API request, Amazon Cognito returns an InvalidParameterException error. To delete a protected user pool, send a new DeleteUserPool request after you deactivate deletion protection in an UpdateUserPool API request.

Type: String

Valid Values: ACTIVE | INACTIVE

Required: No

DeviceConfiguration

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.

Type: DeviceConfigurationType object

Required: No

EmailConfiguration

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

MfaConfiguration

Possible values include:

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