AWS::Cognito::UserPool - AWS CloudFormation

AWS::Cognito::UserPool

The AWS::Cognito::UserPool resource creates an Amazon Cognito user pool. For more information on working with Amazon Cognito user pools, see Amazon Cognito User Pools and CreateUserPool.

Note

If you don't specify a value for a parameter, Amazon Cognito sets it to a default value.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

Properties

AccountRecoverySetting

The available verified method a user can use to recover their password when they call ForgotPassword. You can use this setting to define a preferred method when a user has more than one method available. With this setting, SMS doesn't qualify for a valid password recovery mechanism if the user also has SMS multi-factor authentication (MFA) activated. In the absence of this setting, Amazon Cognito uses the legacy behavior to determine the recovery method where SMS is preferred through email.

Required: No

Type: AccountRecoverySetting

Update requires: No interruption

AdminCreateUserConfig

The settings for administrator creation of users in a user pool. Contains settings for allowing user sign-up, customizing invitation messages to new users, and the amount of time before temporary passwords expire.

Required: No

Type: AdminCreateUserConfig

Update requires: No interruption

AliasAttributes

Attributes supported as an alias for this user pool. For more information about alias attributes, see Customizing sign-in attributes.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: No interruption

AutoVerifiedAttributes

The attributes that you want your user pool to automatically verify. For more information, see Verifying contact information at sign-up.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: No interruption

DeletionProtection

When active, DeletionProtection prevents accidental deletion of your user pool. Before you can delete a user pool that you have protected against deletion, you must deactivate this feature.

When you try to delete a protected user pool in a DeleteUserPool API request, Amazon Cognito returns an InvalidParameterException error. To delete a protected user pool, send a new DeleteUserPool request after you deactivate deletion protection in an UpdateUserPool API request.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: ACTIVE | INACTIVE

Update requires: No interruption

DeviceConfiguration

The device-remembering configuration for a user pool. Device remembering or device tracking is a "Remember me on this device" option for user pools that perform authentication with the device key of a trusted device in the back end, instead of a user-provided MFA code. For more information about device authentication, see Working with user devices in your user pool. A null value indicates that you have deactivated device remembering in your user pool.

Note

When you provide a value for any DeviceConfiguration field, you activate the Amazon Cognito device-remembering feature. For more infor

EnabledMfas

Set enabled MFA options on a specified user pool. To disable all MFAs after it has been enabled, set MfaConfiguration to OFF and remove EnabledMfas. MFAs can only be all disabled if MfaConfiguration is OFF. After you enable SMS_MFA, you can only disable it by setting MfaConfiguration to OFF. Can be one of the following values:

  • SMS_MFA - Enables MFA with SMS for the user pool. To select this option, you must also provide values for SmsConfiguration.

  • SOFTWARE_TOKEN_MFA - Enables software token MFA for the user pool.

  • EMAIL_OTP - Enables MFA with email for the user pool. To select this option, you must provide values for EmailConfiguration and within those, set EmailSendingAccount to DEVELOPER.

Allowed values: SMS_MFA | SOFTWARE_TOKEN_MFA | EMAIL_OTP

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: No interruption

LambdaConfig

A collection of user pool Lambda triggers. Amazon Cognito invokes triggers at several possible stages of authentication operations. Triggers can modify the outcome of the operations that invoked them.

Required: No

Type: LambdaConfig

Update requires: No interruption

MfaConfiguration

Displays the state of multi-factor authentication (MFA) as on, off, or optional. When ON, all users must set up MFA before they can sign in. When OPTIONAL, your application must make a client-side determination of whether a user wants to register an MFA device. For user pools with adaptive authentication with threat protection, choose OPTIONAL.

When MfaConfiguration is OPTIONAL, managed login doesn't automatically prompt users to set up MFA. Amazon Cognito generates MFA prompts in API responses and in managed login for users who have chosen and configured a preferred MFA factor.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: OFF | ON | OPTIONAL

Update requires: No interruption

Policies

A list of user pool policies. Contains the policy that sets password-complexity requirements.

Required: No

Type: Policies

Update requires: No interruption

Schema

An array of attributes for the new user pool. You can add custom attributes and modify the properties of default attributes. The specifications in this parameter set the required attributes in your user pool. For more information, see Working with user attributes.

Required: No

Type: Array of SchemaAttribute

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 50

Update requires: No interruption

SmsAuthenticationMessage

The contents of the SMS authentication message.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 6

Maximum: 140

Update requires: No interruption

SmsConfiguration

The settings for your Amazon Cognito user pool to send SMS messages with Amazon Simple Notification Service. To send SMS messages with Amazon SNS in the AWS Region that you want, the Amazon Cognito user pool uses an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role in your AWS account. For more information see SMS message settings.

Required: No

Type: SmsConfiguration

Update requires: No interruption

SmsVerificationMessage

This parameter is no longer used. See VerificationMessageTemplateType.

Required: No

Type: String

UserAttributeUpdateSettings

The settings for updates to user attributes. These settings include the property AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate, a user-pool setting that tells Amazon Cognito how to handle changes to the value of your users' email address and phone number attributes. For more information, see Verifying updates to email addresses and phone numbers.

Required: No

Type: UserAttributeUpdateSettings

Update requires: No interruption

UsernameAttributes

Specifies whether a user can use an email address or phone number as a username when they sign up.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: No interruption

UsernameConfiguration

Sets the case sensitivity option for sign-in usernames. When CaseSensitive is false (case insensitive), users can sign in with any combination of capital and lowercase letters. For example, username, USERNAME, or UserName, or for email, email@example.com or EMaiL@eXamplE.Com. For most use cases, set case sensitivity to false as a best practice. When usernames and email addresses are case insensitive, Amazon Cognito treats any variation in case as the same user, and prevents a case variation from being assigned to the same attribute for a different user.

When CaseSensitive is true (case sensitive), Amazon Cognito interprets USERNAME and UserName as distinct users.

This configuration is immutable after you set it.

Required: No

Type: UsernameConfiguration

Update requires: No interruption

UserPoolAddOns

Contains settings for activation of threat protection, including the operating mode and additional authentication types. To log user security information but take no action, set to AUDIT. To configure automatic security responses to potentially unwanted traffic to your user pool, set to ENFORCED.

For more information, see Adding advanced security to a user pool. To activate this setting, your user pool must be on the Plus tier.

Required: No

Type: UserPoolAddOns

Update requires: No interruption

UserPoolName

Required: No

Type: VerificationMessageTemplate

Update requires: No interruption

WebAuthnRelyingPartyID

Sets or displays the authentication domain, typically your user pool domain, that passkey providers must use as a relying party (RP) in their configuration.

Under the following conditions, the passkey relying party ID must be the fully-qualified domain name of your custom domain:

  • The user pool is configured for passkey authentication.

  • The user pool has a custom domain, whether or not it also has a prefix domain.

  • Your application performs authentication with managed login or the classic hosted UI.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 63
