Example: Consider an example where the "Update Group" activity is used to update an IAM group named "Developers" to a new name "Engineers" with a custom path:
Update Group:
Display Name: "Update IAM Group"
Access Key ID: "{YourAccessKey}"
Secret Access Key: "{YourSecretKey}"
Region: "us-east-1"
Group Name: "Developers"
New Group Name: "Engineers"
Path: "/CustomPath/"
Group: updatedGroupInfo
In this example, the activity updates the IAM group named "Developers" to "Engineers" within the specified custom path "/CustomPath/" in the "us-east-1" region. The updated information about the IAM group is stored in the variable "updatedGroupInfo" for further processing.
