The <update> operation allows the attributes of an object to be updated.

Domains

The <domain:update> operation is described in RFC 5731 and allows the following modifications to a domain name:

• The <domain:registrant> field allows the domain name to be assigned to a different registrant account. This is only allowed if the new account has the same organisation name as the first.
• Nameservers can be added and removed to the domain name

Modification of the first-bill, recur-bill, auto-bill, next-bill, notes and reseller fields are done using the domain-nom-ext-1.1 extension.
