Update User in Identity Store

Question

I'm attempting to update a user's attributes in the Identity Store and I'm having an issue determining what the attribute path & value should be. If i wanted to, for example, update a users nickname, how would this be done using the JSON array below? What values would I plug in for the AttributePath & AttributeValue?

I've been folowing this document at (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/IdentityStoreAPIReference/API_UpdateUser.html) without any luck.

```
{
   "IdentityStoreId": 123456,
   "Operations": [ 
      { 
         "AttributePath": "string",
         "AttributeValue": JSON value
      }
   ],
   "UserId": 987654321
}
```

Hello,

UpdateUser does not support nested/targeted replace of complex or list attributes. So in this case, we’ll need to provide a List of emails. Something like:

input.json

{
        "IdentityStoreId": "d-1234567890",
        "UserId": "uid",
        "Operations": [
        {
            "AttributePath": "emails",
            "AttributeValue": [{
                "value": "testemail@gmail.com",
                "type": "work",
                "primary": true
            }]
        }
    ]
     }

$ aws identitystore update-user --cli-input-json file://input.json --region us-east-1
