AdminResetUserPasswordRequest Class

Container for the parameters to the AdminResetUserPassword operation. Resets the specified user's password in a user pool. This operation doesn't change the user's password, but sends a password-reset code.

To use this API operation, your user pool must have self-service account recovery configured.

This action might generate an SMS text message. Starting June 1, 2021, US telecom carriers require you to register an origination phone number before you can send SMS messages to US phone numbers. If you use SMS text messages in Amazon Cognito, you must register a phone number with Amazon Pinpoint. Amazon Cognito uses the registered number automatically. Otherwise, Amazon Cognito users who must receive SMS messages might not be able to sign up, activate their accounts, or sign in.

If you have never used SMS text messages with Amazon Cognito or any other Amazon Web Services service, Amazon Simple Notification Service might place your account in the SMS sandbox. In sandbox mode, you can send messages only to verified phone numbers. After you test your app while in the sandbox environment, you can move out of the sandbox and into production. For more information, see SMS message settings for Amazon Cognito user pools in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.

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.

Properties

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
ClientMetadata	System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<System.String, System.String>	Gets and sets the property ClientMetadata. 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 Lambda functions to user pool triggers. The `AdminResetUserPassword` API operation 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 AdminResetUserPassword request. In your function code in Lambda, you can process the `clientMetadata` value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs. For more information, see Using Lambda triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide. When you use the `ClientMetadata` parameter, note that Amazon Cognito won't do the following: Store the `ClientMetadata` value. This data is available only to Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration doesn't include triggers, the `ClientMetadata` parameter serves no purpose. Validate the `ClientMetadata` value. Encrypt the `ClientMetadata` value. Don't send sensitive information in this parameter.
Username	System.String	Gets and sets the property Username. The name of the user that you want to query or modify. The value of this parameter is typically your user's username, but it can be any of their alias attributes. If `username` isn't an alias attribute in your user pool, this value must be the `sub` of a local user or the username of a user from a third-party IdP.
UserPoolId	System.String	Gets and sets the property UserPoolId. The ID of the user pool where you want to reset the user's password.
