# Update ABAC attribute definition
>
- Updates an existing ABAC attribute definition.
- Modifies the attribute identified by `_id`, allowing you to rename its key, change its list of allowed values, or both, subject to in-use and validation checks.
- Requires the ABAC license, the `abac-management` and `manage-abac-admin-room-attributes` permissions, and the global setting `ABAC_Enabled` to be turned on.
