# UpdateGroup
<a name="update-group"></a>

Use the `UpdateGroup` API operation to change a group description. You can find a group name by calling the `ListGroups` API operation.

Following is an example AWS CLI command for this operation.

aws quicksight update-group 
    --group-name {{GROUPNAME}} 
    --description "{{NEW DESCRIPTION}}" 
    --aws-account-id {{AWSACCOUNTID}} 
    --namespace {{default}}
```

You can also make this command using a CLI skeleton file with the following command. For more information about CLI skeleton files, see [Use CLI skeleton files](cli-skeletons.md).
