<p>Modifies the details of a secret, including metadata and the secret value. To change the secret value, you can also use <a>PutSecretValue</a>.</p> <p>To change the rotation configuration of a secret, use <a>RotateSecret</a> instead.</p> <p>To change a secret so that it is managed by another service, you need to recreate the secret in that service. See <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/service-linked-secrets.html">Secrets Manager secrets managed by other Amazon Web Services services</a>.</p> <p>We recommend you avoid calling <code>UpdateSecret</code> at a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you call <code>UpdateSecret</code> to update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you update the secret value more than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.</p> <p>If you include <code>SecretString</code> or <code>SecretBinary</code> to create a new secret version, Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging label <code>AWSCURRENT</code> to the new version. Then it attaches the label <code>AWSPREVIOUS</code> to the version that <code>AWSCURRENT</code> was removed from.</p> <p>If you call this operation with a <code>ClientRequestToken</code> that matches an existing version's <code>VersionId</code>, the operation results in an error. You can't modify an existing version, you can only create a new version. To remove a version, remove all staging labels from it. See <a>UpdateSecretVersionStage</a>.</p> <p>Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters except <code>SecretBinary</code> or <code>SecretString</code> because it might be logged. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/retrieve-ct-entries.html">Logging Secrets Manager events with CloudTrail</a>.</p> <p> <b>Required permissions: </b> <code>secretsmanager:UpdateSecret</code>.

If you use a customer managed key, you must also have <code>kms:GenerateDataKey</code> and <code>kms:Decrypt</code> permissions on the key.
