Create Amazon Cognito users
Workload Discovery on AWS uses Amazon Cognito to manage all users and authentication. It creates a user for you during deployment and sends an email at the address provided in the AdminUserEmailAddress parameter with temporary credentials.
To create additional users:
-
Sign in to the AWS Cognito console
. -
Choose Manage User Pools.

Choose WDCognitoUserPool-
<ID-string>. -
In the navigation pane, under General Settings, choose Users and groups.
-
On the Users tab, choose Create user.
-
On the Create user box, enter values for all required fields.

Enter a temporary password. The user is forced to change this when they sign in to Workload Discovery on AWS for the first time.

Repeat this process to create as many users as you need.
Note
Every user will have the same level of access to resources discovered. We recommend provisioning a separate deployment of Workload Discovery on AWS for accounts that contain sensitive workloads or data. This allows you to restrict access to only the users that need it.
