IAmazonIdentityManagementService.UpdateGroup Method (UpdateGroupRequest)

Updates the name and/or the path of the specified IAM group.

You should understand the implications of changing a group's path or name. For more information, see Renaming users and groups in the IAM User Guide.

The person making the request (the principal), must have permission to change the role group with the old name and the new name. For example, to change the group named Managers to MGRs, the principal must have a policy that allows them to update both groups. If the principal has permission to update the Managers group, but not the MGRs group, then the update fails. For more information about permissions, see Access management.

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to UpdateGroupAsync.
