Deletes attributes from the currently signed-in user

Description

Deletes attributes from the currently signed-in user. For example, your application can submit a request to this operation when a user wants to remove their birthdate attribute value.

Authorize this action with a signed-in user's access token. It must include the scope aws.cognito.signin.user.admin.

Amazon Cognito doesn't evaluate Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you can't use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you can't grant IAM permissions in policies. For more information about authorization models in Amazon Cognito, see Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints.
