# Editing a user pool


{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Cloud Center UI {#cloud-center}

  1. Log in to [Yandex Identity Hub](https://center.yandex.cloud/organization) using an administrator or organization owner account.
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![userpool](../../../_assets/organization/userpool.svg) **User pools**.  
  1. In the line with the [user pool](../../concepts/user-pools.md), click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg) and select ![pencil](../../../_assets/console-icons/pencil.svg) **Edit**.
  1. Specify a new name or description for the user pool.

      The name must be unique within the organization and follow the naming requirements:

      * It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
      * It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
      * It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

  1. Specify a new [domain](../../concepts/domains.md) to use if no other domains are linked to the pool.
  1. Add or delete labels.
  1. Update the data users can edit on the [My account](../../concepts/my-account.md) portal.
  1. In the **Lifetime session** field, specify a time period for user [sessions](../../concepts/sessions.md) to remain active before requiring reauthentication in Yandex Identity Hub.
  1. Click **Save**.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. View the description of the CLI command to update a [user pool](../../concepts/user-pools.md):

     ```bash
     yc organization-manager idp userpool update --help
     ```

  1. Run this command:

     ```bash
     yc organization-manager idp userpool update <pool_ID> \
       --userpool-name <pool_name> \
       --description <pool_description> \
       --default-subdomain <default_domain> \
       --labels <key>=<value>[,<key>=<value>]
     ```

     Where:
     
     * `--userpool-name`: New user pool name. The name must be unique within the organization and aligned with the naming requirements:

       * It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
       * It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
       * It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

     * `--description`: New user pool description.
     * `--labels`: New list of [labels](../../../resource-manager/concepts/labels.md). You can specify one or more labels separated by commas in `<key1>=<value1>,<key2>=<value2>` format.

- Terraform {#tf}

  With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
  
  Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license.
  
  For more information about the provider resources, see the guides on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../../terraform/index.md).

  If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform).
  
  
  To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method.

  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and update the [user pool](../../concepts/user-pools.md) parameters:

     ```hcl
     resource "yandex_organizationmanager_idp_userpool" "example_userpool" {
       organization_id   = "<organization_ID>"
       name              = "<pool_name>"
       description       = "<pool_description>"
       default_subdomain = "<default_domain>"
       labels            = {
         <key> = "<value>"
       }
       user_settings {
          allow_edit_self_contacts = <true_or_false>
          allow_edit_self_info = <true_or_false>
          allow_edit_self_login = <true_or_false>
          allow_edit_self_password = <true_or_false>
       }
     }
     ```

     Where:

     * `name`: New user pool name. The name must be unique within the organization and aligned with the naming requirements:

       * It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
       * It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
       * It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

     * `description`: New user pool description.
     * `default_subdomain`: New default [domain](../../concepts/domains.md). It will be used if no other domains are linked to the pool.
     * `labels`: New list of [labels](../../../resource-manager/concepts/labels.md).
     * `user_settings`: User data available for editing on the [My account](../../concepts/my-account.md) portal. The following options are available:
       * `allow_edit_self_contacts`: Editing contact details.
       * `allow_edit_self_info`: Editing personal data.
       * `allow_edit_self_login`: Editing username.
       * `allow_edit_self_password`: Editing password.

     For more on the properties of the `yandex_organizationmanager_idp_userpool` resource, see [this provider guide](../../../terraform/resources/organizationmanager_idp_userpool.md).

  1. Apply the changes:

     1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
     1. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
     
        ```bash
        terraform validate
        ```
     
        If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
     
        ```bash
        Success! The configuration is valid.
        ```
     
     1. Run this command:
     
        ```bash
        terraform plan
        ```
     
        You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
     1. Apply the configuration changes:
     
        ```bash
        terraform apply
        ```
     
     1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

     Terraform will update all the required resources. You can check the updates in the [Cloud Center UI](https://center.yandex.cloud/organization) or using this [CLI](../../../cli/index.md) command:

     ```bash
     yc organization-manager idp userpool get <pool_ID>
     ```

- API {#api}

  Use the [Userpool.Update](../../idp/api-ref/Userpool/update.md) REST API method for the [Userpool](../../idp/api-ref/Userpool/index.md) resource or the [UserpoolService/Update](../../idp/api-ref/grpc/Userpool/update.md) gRPC API call.
