The mode you set determines how your rule sets are updated. If your configuration is still using the Kona Rule Set, use `KRS` mode to update the rule sets manually or `AAG` to have them updated automatically. Otherwise, use `ASE_MANUAL` mode to update the rule sets manually or `ASE_AUTO` to have them updated automatically. When making a request, you can specify a configuration with the `-ConfigName` or `-ConfigID` parameter. The `-VersionNumber` parameter is an integer or the word `latest`. To specify a policy, use the `-PolicyName` or `-PolicyID` parameter. ## Parameters

`‑AccountSwitchKey`	String Pipeline input: False An account credential key that lets you move between accounts when using an API client enabled for multiple accounts. To find account switch keys, use Get-AccountSwitchKey.
`‑ConfigID` Conditionally required	Int32 Parameter sets: `Config & policy ID`, `Config ID & policy name` Pipeline input: False Your configuration's ID.
`‑ConfigName` Conditionally required	String Parameter sets: `Config name & policy ID`, `Config & policy name` Pipeline input: False The name of your security configuration.
