AWS::Cognito::UserPool SchemaAttribute - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

AWS::Cognito::UserPool SchemaAttribute

A list of the user attributes and their properties in your user pool. The attribute schema contains standard attributes, custom attributes with a custom: prefix, and developer attributes with a dev: prefix. For more information, see User pool attributes.

Developer-only attributes are a legacy feature of user pools, are read-only to all app clients. You can create and update developer-only attributes only with IAM-authenticated API operations. Use app client read/write permissions instead.

Syntax

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

Properties

AttributeDataType

The data format of the values for your attribute. When you choose an AttributeDataType, Amazon Cognito validates the input against the data type. A custom attribute value in your user's ID token is always a string, for example "custom:isMember" : "true" or "custom:YearsAsMember" : "12".

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: String | Number | DateTime | Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

DeveloperOnlyAttribute
Note

We recommend that you use WriteAttributes in the user pool client to control how attributes can be mutated for new use cases instead of using DeveloperOnlyAttribute.

Specifies whether the attribute type is developer only. This attribute can only be modified by an administrator. Users will not be able to modify this attribute using their access token.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

Mutable

Specifies whether the value of the attribute can be changed.

Any user pool attribute whose value you map from an IdP attribute must be mutable, with a parameter value of true. Amazon Cognito updates mapped attributes when users sign in to your application through an IdP. If an attribute is immutable, Amazon Cognito throws an error when it attempts to update the attribute. For more information, see Specifying Identity Provider Attribute Mappings for Your User Pool.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

Name

The name of your user pool attribute. When you create or update a user pool, adding a schema attribute creates a custom or developer-only attribute. When you add an attribute with a Name value of MyAttribute, Amazon Cognito creates the custom attribute custom:MyAttribute. When DeveloperOnlyAttribute is true, Amazon Cognito creates your attribute as dev:MyAttribute. In an operation that describes a user pool, Amazon Cognito returns this value as value for standard attributes, custom:value for custom attributes, and dev:value for developer-only attributes..

Required: No
