AWS::Cognito::UserPoolUser - 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::UserPoolUser

The AWS::Cognito::UserPoolUser resource creates an Amazon Cognito user pool user.

Syntax

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

JSON

{ "Type" : "AWS::Cognito::UserPoolUser", "Properties" : { "ClientMetadata" : {Key: Value, ...}, "DesiredDeliveryMediums" : [ String, ... ], "ForceAliasCreation" : Boolean, "MessageAction" : String, "UserAttributes" : [ AttributeType, ... ], "Username" : String, "UserPoolId" : String, "ValidationData" : [ AttributeType, ... ] } }

YAML

Type: AWS::Cognito::UserPoolUser Properties: ClientMetadata: Key: Value DesiredDeliveryMediums: - String ForceAliasCreation: Boolean MessageAction: String UserAttributes: - AttributeType Username: String UserPoolId: String ValidationData: - AttributeType

Properties

ClientMetadata

A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for any custom workflows that this action triggers.

You create custom workflows by assigning Amazon Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the AdminCreateUser API action, Amazon Cognito invokes the function that is assigned to the pre sign-up trigger. When Amazon Cognito invokes this function, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a clientMetadata attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your AdminCreateUser request. In your function code in Amazon Lambda, you can process the clientMetadata value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs.

For more information, see Customizing user pool Workflows with Lambda Triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.

Note

When you use the ClientMetadata parameter, remember that Amazon Cognito won't do the following:

  • Store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to Amazon Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration doesn't include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose.

  • Validate the ClientMetadata value.

  • Encrypt the ClientMetadata value. Don't use Amazon Cognito to provide sensitive information.

Required: No

Type: Object of String

Pattern: ^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-@]*)$

Update requires: Replacement

DesiredDeliveryMediums

Specify "EMAIL" if email will be used to send the welcome message. Specify "SMS" if the phone number will be used. The default value is "SMS". You can specify more than one value.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: Replacement

ForceAliasCreation

This parameter is used only if the phone_number_verified or email_verified attribute is set to True. Otherwise, it is ignored.

If this parameter is set to True and the phone number or email address specified in the UserAttributes parameter already exists as an alias with a different user, the API call will migrate the alias from the previous user to the newly created user. The previous user will no longer be able to log in using that alias.

If this parameter is set to False, the API throws an AliasExistsException error if the alias already exists. The default value is False.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: Replacement

MessageAction

Set to RESEND to resend the invitation message to a user that already exists and reset the expiration limit on the user's account. Set to SUPPRESS to suppress sending the message. You can specify only one value.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: RESEND | SUPPRESS

Update requires: Replacement

UserAttributes

An array of name-value pairs that contain user attributes and attribute values.

Required: No

Type: Array of AttributeType

Update requires: Replacement

Username

The value that you want to set as the username sign-in attribute. The following conditions apply to the username parameter.

  • The username can't be a duplicate of another username in the same user pool.

  • You can't change the value of a username after you create it.

  • You can only provide a value if usernames are a valid sign-in attribute for your user pool. If your user pool only supports phone numbers or email addresses as sign-in attributes, Amazon Cognito automatically generates a username value. For more information, see Customizing sign-in attributes.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

UserPoolId

The user pool ID for the user pool where the user will be created.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: [\w-]+_[0-9a-zA-Z]+

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 55

Update requires: Replacement

ValidationData

Temporary user attributes that contribute to the outcomes of your pre sign-up Lambda trigger. This set of key-value pairs are for custom validation of information that you collect from your users but don't need to retain.

Your Lambda function can analyze this additional data and act on it. Your function might perform external API operations like logging user attributes and validation data to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Validation data might also affect the response that your function returns to Amazon Cognito, like automatically confirming the user if they sign up from within your network.

For more information about the pre sign-up Lambda trigger, see Pre sign-up Lambda trigger.

Required: No

Type: Array of AttributeType

Update requires: Replacement

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the name of the user. For example: admin.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.
