Modifies the details of a secret, including metadata and the secret value. To change the secret value, you can also use PutSecretValue.
To change the rotation configuration of a secret, use RotateSecret instead.
To change a secret so that it is managed by another service, you need to recreate the secret in that service. See Secrets Manager secrets managed by other Amazon Web Services services.
We recommend you avoid calling UpdateSecret at a sustained rate of more than
once every 10 minutes. When you call UpdateSecret to update the secret value,
Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated
versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less
than 24 hours ago. If you update the secret value more than once every 10 minutes,
you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota
for secret versions.
If you include SecretString or SecretBinary to create a new secret version,
Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging label AWSCURRENT to the new
version. Then it attaches the label AWSPREVIOUS to the version that AWSCURRENT
was removed from.
If you call this operation with a ClientRequestToken that matches an existing
version's VersionId, the operation results in an error. You can't modify an
existing version, you can only create a new version. To remove a version, remove all
staging labels from it. See UpdateSecretVersionStage.
Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not
include sensitive information in request parameters except SecretBinary or
SecretString because it might be logged. For more information, see Logging
Secrets Manager events with CloudTrail.
Required permissions: secretsmanager:UpdateSecret. For more information,
see
IAM policy actions for Secrets Manager and Authentication
and access control in Secrets Manager. If you use a customer managed key, you
must also have kms:GenerateDataKey, kms:Encrypt, and kms:Decrypt
permissions on the key. If you change the KMS key and you don't have kms:Encrypt
permission to the new key, Secrets Manager does not re-ecrypt existing secret versions
with the new key. For more information, see
Secret encryption and decryption.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginUpdateSecret and EndUpdateSecret.

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| DecryptionFailureException | Secrets Manager can't decrypt the protected secret text using the provided KMS key. |

| InternalServiceErrorException | An error occurred on the server side. |
| InvalidParameterException | The parameter name or value is invalid. |

You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call. The secret is managed by another service, and you must use that service to update it. For more information, see Secrets managed by other Amazon Web Services services. |
| LimitExceededException | The request failed because it would exceed one of the Secrets Manager quotas. |
