Step 5: (optional) Create user accounts
If more than one user needs access to the web application, the solution administrator can create additional users using the following procedure in Amazon Cognito.
-
Sign in to the Amazon CloudFormation console
. -
Open the AuthStack nested within your base CloudFormation stack.
-
Select the Resources tab, and select the UserPool resource.
-
On the User pools page, select the user pool.
-
On the Users tab, select Create user.
-
In the Create user form, enter a user name and temporary password (ensure the options to send an invitation to the user and the verifications for phone number and email are not selected).
-
Select Create user.
-
On the User pool page, select the user you just created.
-
On the User page, choose Add user to a group.
-
Select the group associated with the AdminGroup resource that is shown within the AuthStack nested stack in AWS CloudFormation.
The user can now access the web application, upload media files, and run the analysis workflows.
Note
(optional) We strongly encourage you to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for each new user. For details, refer to Adding Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to a User Pool in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.
