About AdminSetUserPassword¶
Sets the specified user's password in a user pool as an administrator. Works on any user.
The password can be temporary or permanent. If it is temporary, the user status enters
the FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD
state. When the user next tries to sign in, the
InitiateAuth/AdminInitiateAuth response will contain the
NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED
challenge. If the user doesn't sign in before it
expires, the user won't be able to sign in, and an administrator must reset their
password.
Once the user has set a new password, or the password is permanent, the user status is
set to Confirmed
.
AdminSetUserPassword
can set a password for the user profile that Amazon Cognito
creates for third-party federated users. When you set a password, the federated user's
status changes from EXTERNAL_PROVIDER
to CONFIRMED
. A user in
this state can sign in as a federated user, and initiate authentication flows in the API
like a linked native user. They can also modify their password and attributes in
token-authenticated API requests like ChangePassword
and
UpdateUserAttributes
. As a best security practice and to keep users in
sync with your external IdP, don't set passwords on federated user profiles. To set up a
federated user for native sign-in with a linked native user, refer to Linking federated users to an existing user
profile.
Amazon Cognito evaluates 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.
