# AWS::Connect::User UserIdentityInfo
<a name="aws-properties-connect-user-useridentityinfo"></a>

Contains information about the identity of a user.

**Note**  
For Amazon Connect instances that are created with the `EXISTING_DIRECTORY` identity management type, `FirstName`, `LastName`, and `Email` cannot be updated from within Amazon Connect because they are managed by the directory.

**Important**  
The `FirstName` and `LastName` length constraints below apply only to instances using SAML for identity management. If you are using Amazon Connect for identity management, the length constraints are 1-255 for `FirstName`, and 1-256 for `LastName`. 

## Syntax
