- AccessTokenValidity
-
The access token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use their access token. To specify the time unit for
AccessTokenValidityasseconds,minutes,hours, ordays, set aTokenValidityUnitsvalue in your API request.For example, when you set
AccessTokenValidityto10andTokenValidityUnitstohours, your user can authorize access with their access token for 10 hours.The default time unit for
AccessTokenValidityin an API request is hours. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your access tokens are valid for one hour.
Type: Integer
Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 86400.
Required: No
- AllowedOAuthFlows
-
The OAuth grant types that you want your app client to generate. To create an app client that generates client credentials grants, you must add
client_credentialsas the only allowed OAuth flow.- code
-
Use a code grant flow, which provides an authorization code as the response. This code can be exchanged for access tokens with the
/oauth2/tokenendpoint. - implicit
-
Issue the access token (and, optionally, ID token, based on scopes) directly to your user.
- client_credentials
-
Issue the access token from the
/oauth2/tokenendpoint directly to a non-person user using a combination of the client ID and client secret.

- EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextData
-
When
EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextDatais true, Amazon Cognito accepts anIpAddressvalue that you send in theUserContextDataparameter. TheUserContextDataparameter sends information to Amazon Cognito threat protection for risk analysis. You can sendUserContextDatawhen you sign in Amazon Cognito native users with theInitiateAuthandRespondToAuthChallengeAPI operations.When
EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextDatais false, you can't send your user's source IP address to Amazon Cognito threat protection with unauthenticated API operations.EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextDatadoesn't affect whether you can send a source IP address in aContextDataparameter with the authenticated API operationsAdminInitiateAuthandAdminRespondToAuthChallenge.You can only activate
EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextDatain an app client that has a client secret. For more information about propagation of user context data, see Adding user device and session data to API requests.Type: Boolean
Required: No
- EnableTokenRevocation
-
Indicates whether token revocation is activated for the user pool client. When you create a new user pool client, token revocation is activated by default.
For more information about revoking tokens, see RevokeToken.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
- ExplicitAuthFlows
-
The authentication flows that you want your user pool client to support. For each app client in your user pool, you can sign in your users with any combination of one or more flows, including with a user name and Secure Remote Password (SRP), a user name and password, or a custom authentication process that you define with Lambda functions.
Note
If you don't specify a value for
ExplicitAuthFlows, your app client supportsALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH,ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH, andALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH.The values for authentication flow options include the following.
-
ALLOW_USER_AUTH: Enable selection-based sign-in withUSER_AUTH. This setting covers username-password, secure remote password (SRP), passwordless, and passkey authentication. This authentiation flow can do username-password and SRP authentication without otherExplicitAuthFlowspermitting them. For example users can complete an SRP challenge throughUSER_AUTHwithout the flowUSER_SRP_AUTHbeing active for the app client. This flow doesn't includeCUSTOM_AUTH.To activate this setting, your user pool must be in the Essentials tier or higher.
-
ALLOW_ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH: Enable admin based user password authentication flowADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH. This setting replaces theADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTHsetting. With this authentication flow, your app passes a user name and password to Amazon Cognito in the request, instead of using the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol to securely transmit the password. -
ALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH: Enable Lambda trigger based authentication. -
ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH: Enable user password-based authentication. In this flow, Amazon Cognito receives the password in the request instead of using the SRP protocol to verify passwords. -
ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH: Enable SRP-based authentication. -
ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH: Enable authflow to refresh tokens.
In some environments, you will see the values
ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH,CUSTOM_AUTH_FLOW_ONLY, orUSER_PASSWORD_AUTH. You can't assign these legacyExplicitAuthFlowsvalues to user pool clients at the same time as values that begin withALLOW_, likeALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH.Type: Array of strings
Valid Values:
ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH | CUSTOM_AUTH_FLOW_ONLY | USER_PASSWORD_AUTH | ALLOW_ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH | ALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH | ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH | ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH | ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH | ALLOW_USER_AUTHRequired: No
-
- IdTokenValidity
-
The ID token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use their ID token. To specify the time unit for
IdTokenValidityasseconds,minutes,hours, ordays, set aTokenValidityUnitsvalue in your API request.For example, when you set
IdTokenValidityas10andTokenValidityUnitsashours, your user can authenticate their session with their ID token for 10 hours.The default time unit for
IdTokenValidityin an API request is hours. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your ID tokens are valid for one hour.
Type: Integer
Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 86400.
Required: No
- LastModifiedDate
-
The date and time when the item was modified. Amazon Cognito returns this timestamp in UNIX epoch time format. Your SDK might render the output in a human-readable format like ISO 8601 or a Java
Dateobject.Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- LogoutURLs
-
A list of allowed logout URLs for the IdPs.
Type: Array of strings
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 100 items.
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

- PreventUserExistenceErrors
-
When
ENABLED, suppresses messages that might indicate a valid user exists when someone attempts sign-in. This parameters sets your preference for the errors and responses that you want Amazon Cognito APIs to return during authentication, account confirmation, and password recovery when the user doesn't exist in the user pool. When set toENABLEDand the user doesn't exist, authentication returns an error indicating either the username or password was incorrect. Account confirmation and password recovery return a response indicating a code was sent to a simulated destination. When set toLEGACY, those APIs return aUserNotFoundExceptionexception if the user doesn't exist in the user pool.Defaults to
LEGACY.This setting affects the behavior of the following API operations.
Type: String
Valid Values:
LEGACY | ENABLEDRequired: No
- ReadAttributes
-
The list of user attributes that you want your app client to have read access to. After your user authenticates in your app, their access token authorizes them to read their own attribute value for any attribute in this list.
An example of this kind of activity is when your user selects a link to view their profile information. Your app makes a GetUser API request to retrieve and display your user's profile data.
When you don't specify the
ReadAttributesfor your app client, your app can read the values ofemail_verified,phone_number_verified, and the standard attributes of your user pool. When your user pool app client has read access to these default attributes,ReadAttributesdoesn't return any information. Amazon Cognito only populatesReadAttributesin the API response if you have specified your own custom set of read attributes.Type: Array of strings
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.
Required: No
- RefreshTokenRotation
-
The configuration of your app client for refresh token rotation. When enabled, your app client issues new ID, access, and refresh tokens when users renew their sessions with refresh tokens. When disabled, token refresh issues only ID and access tokens.
Refresh token rotation must be completed with GetTokensFromRefreshToken. With refresh token rotation disabled, you can complete token refresh with
GetTokensFromRefreshTokenand withREFRESH_TOKEN_AUTHin InitiateAuth:AuthFlow and AdminInitiateAuth:AuthFlow.Type: RefreshTokenRotationType object
Required: No
- RefreshTokenValidity
-
The refresh token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use their refresh token. To specify the time unit for
RefreshTokenValidityasseconds,minutes,hours, ordays, set aTokenValidityUnitsvalue in your API request.For example, when you set
RefreshTokenValidityas10andTokenValidityUnitsasdays, your user can refresh their session and retrieve new access and ID tokens for 10 days.The default time unit for
RefreshTokenValidityin an API request is days. You can't setRefreshTokenValidityto 0. If you do, Amazon Cognito overrides the value with the default value of 30 days. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your refresh tokens are valid for 30 days.
Type: Integer
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 315360000.
Required: No
- SupportedIdentityProviders
-
A list of provider names for the identity providers (IdPs) that are supported on this client. The following are supported:
COGNITO,Facebook,Google,SignInWithApple, andLoginWithAmazon. You can also specify the names that you configured for the SAML and OIDC IdPs in your user pool, for exampleMySAMLIdPorMyOIDCIdP.This parameter sets the IdPs that managed login will display on the login page for your app client. The removal of
COGNITOfrom this list doesn't prevent authentication operations for local users with the user pools API in an Amazon SDK. The only way to prevent SDK-based authentication is to block access with a Amazon WAF rule.Type: Array of strings
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 32.
Pattern:
[\p{L}\p{M}\p{S}\p{N}\p{P}\p{Z}]+Required: No
- TokenValidityUnits
-
The time units that, with
IdTokenValidity,AccessTokenValidity, andRefreshTokenValidity, set and display the duration of ID, access, and refresh tokens for an app client. You can assign a separate token validity unit to each type of token.Type: TokenValidityUnitsType object
Required: No
- UserPoolId
-
The ID of the user pool associated with the app client.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 55.
Pattern:
[\w-]+_[0-9a-zA-Z]+Required: No
- WriteAttributes
-
The list of user attributes that you want your app client to have write access to. After your user authenticates in your app, their access token authorizes them to set or modify their own attribute value for any attribute in this list.
An example of this kind of activity is when you present your user with a form to update their profile information and they change their last name. Your app then makes an UpdateUserAttributes API request and sets
family_nameto the new value.When you don't specify the
WriteAttributesfor your app client, your app can write the values of the Standard attributes of your user pool. When your user pool has write access to these default attributes,WriteAttributesdoesn't return any information. Amazon Cognito only populatesWriteAttributesin the API response if you have specified your own custom set of write attributes.If your app client allows users to sign in through an IdP, this array must include all attributes that you have mapped to IdP attributes. Amazon Cognito updates mapped attributes when users sign in to your application through an IdP. If your app client does not have write access to a mapped attribute, Amazon Cognito throws an error when it tries to update the attribute. For more information, see Specifying IdP Attribute Mappings for Your user pool.
Type: Array of strings
