Hello.
IAM users do not need an email address when they are created, so there is no option to change it.
We can send you sign-in instructions via email, but this email is not the email address you use to sign in.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console
IAM users sign in using their AWS account ID, username, and password.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/signin/latest/userguide/introduction-to-iam-user-sign-in-tutorial.html#iam-user-sign-in-tutorial
If you use the IAM Identity center, you can change a user's email address.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/edituser.html
Please note that IAM Identity center users and IAM users are different.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction_identity-management.html#intro-identity-users
If you want to change the email address associated with your AWS account, you can do so by following the steps in the document below.
https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/change-email-address
IAM user doesn't have email as a property. Does the IAM user that you are trying to change happen to have the name in an email format? If that's what you are trying to change, you can rename the IAM user using CLI or API.

Good thought but no, the name isn't an email address. I was thinking there was an email associated with the IAM user because I assumed I had invited the user via email, but I might not remember that correctly.
