/#Action=UpdateGroup
https://iam.amazonaws.com/#Action=UpdateGroup<p>Updates the name and/or the path of the specified IAM group.</p> <important> <p> You should understand the implications of changing a group's path or name. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/Using_WorkingWithGroupsAndUsers.html">Renaming users and groups</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.</p> </important> <note> <p>The person making the request (the principal), must have permission to change the role group with the old name and the new name. For example, to change the group named <code>Managers</code> to <code>MGRs</code>, the principal must have a policy that allows them to update both groups. If the principal has permission to update the <code>Managers</code> group, but not the <code>MGRs</code> group, then the update fails. For more information about permissions, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access.html">Access management</a>. </p> </note>
