How to update IAM user email address?

0

Hi, I'm logged in as the root user and would like to update the email address of an IAM user (not me) but I don't even see the email address when clicking to view the IAM user, much less a way to update it. Is the only option to delete and re-create the user?

Hello.

IAM users do not need an email address when they are created, so there is no option to change it.
We can send you sign-in instructions via email, but this email is not the email address you use to sign in.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console

IAM users sign in using their AWS account ID, username, and password.

If you use the IAM Identity center, you can change a user's email address.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/edituser.html

Please note that IAM Identity center users and IAM users are different.

If you want to change the email address associated with your AWS account, you can do so by following the steps in the document below.

IAM user doesn't have email as a property. Does the IAM user that you are trying to change happen to have the name in an email format? If that's what you are trying to change, you can rename the IAM user using CLI or API.

  • Good thought but no, the name isn't an email address. I was thinking there was an email associated with the IAM user because I assumed I had invited the user via email, but I might not remember that correctly.
