Notes
- The account MODIFY template is a sub-set of the MODIFY template, omitting the nameserver, billing and notes fields. The corresponding account, contact and address fields have exactly the same effect in both cases.
- The 'account-id' field must be specified as this determines which account is to be modified (note that this behaviour differs from MODIFY operations).
- The 'account-name' field is not included in this list. This cannot be altered by the registrar. For further details see the registrant transfer process.
- All of the same restrictions with account types apply as with the Domain REQUEST operation.
- Changes to an account will affect all domain names on the account.

Errors
After processing your operation the Automaton sends an automated reply. If there is a problem with the operation then two different error conditions may occur
- non-fatal errors (warning messages) may be appended to successful replies.
- fatal errors that prevent the operation from being carried out; an error reply is generated.
Full details of the template of the error reply and the meaning of the error messages can be found
here.
