# Enable user input in Amazon Bedrock
Enable user input

If user input is enabled, agent reprompts the user for information about the missing parameters.

You can enable user input in the Amazon Bedrock console when you [create](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//bedrock/latest/userguide/agents-create.html) or [modify](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//bedrock/latest/userguide/agents-manage.html#agents-edit) your agent. If you are using API or SDKs, you can enable user input when you [create](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_CreateAgentActionGroup.html) or [update](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_UpdateAgentActionGroup.html) action group.
