aws cognito-idp admin-update-user-attributes
Updates the specified user's attributes, including developer attributes, as an administrator. Works on any user. For custom attributes, you must prepend the custom: prefix to the attribute name. In addition to updating user attributes, this API can also be used to mark phone and email as verified. Calling this action requires developer credentials
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--user-pool-id <string> | The user pool ID for the user pool where you want to update user attributes |
--username <string> | The user name of the user for whom you want to update user attributes |
--user-attributes <list> | An array of name-value pairs representing user attributes. For custom attributes, you must prepend the custom: prefix to the attribute name |
--client-metadata <map> | A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for any custom workflows that this action triggers. You create custom workflows by assigning AWS Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the AdminUpdateUserAttributes API action, Amazon Cognito invokes the function that is assigned to the custom message trigger. When Amazon Cognito invokes this function, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a clientMetadata attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your AdminUpdateUserAttributes request. In your function code in AWS Lambda, you can process the clientMetadata value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs. For more information, see Customizing User Pool Workflows with Lambda Triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide. Take the following limitations into consideration when you use the ClientMetadata parameter: Amazon Cognito does not store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to AWS Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration does not include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose. Amazon Cognito does not validate the ClientMetadata value. Amazon Cognito does not encrypt the the ClientMetadata value, so don't use it to provide sensitive information |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
