Example 1: To create a minimally configured user pool
The following
create-user-poolexample creates a user pool named MyUserPool using default values. There are no required attributes and no application clients. MFA and advanced security is disabled.aws cognito-idp create-user-pool \ --pool-nameMyUserPoolOutput:
{ "UserPool": { "SchemaAttributes": [ { "Name": "sub", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "1", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": true, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": false }, { "Name": "name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "given_name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "family_name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "middle_name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "nickname", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "preferred_username", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "profile", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "picture", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "website", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "email", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "AttributeDataType": "Boolean", "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "Name": "email_verified", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "gender", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "birthdate", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "10", "MaxLength": "10" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "zoneinfo", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "locale", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "phone_number", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "AttributeDataType": "Boolean", "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "Name": "phone_number_verified", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "address", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "updated_at", "NumberAttributeConstraints": { "MinValue": "0" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "Number", "Mutable": true } ], "MfaConfiguration": "OFF", "Name": "MyUserPool", "LastModifiedDate": 1547833345.777, "AdminCreateUserConfig": { "UnusedAccountValidityDays": 7, "AllowAdminCreateUserOnly": false }, "EmailConfiguration": {}, "Policies": { "PasswordPolicy": { "RequireLowercase": true, "RequireSymbols": true, "RequireNumbers": true, "MinimumLength": 8, "RequireUppercase": true } }, "CreationDate": 1547833345.777, "EstimatedNumberOfUsers": 0, "Id": "us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa", "LambdaConfig": {} } }For more information, see Authenticating users with Amazon Cognito user pools
in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide. Example 2: To create a user pool with two required attributes
The following
create-user-poolexample creates a user pool MyUserPool. The pool is configured to accept email as a username attribute. It also sets the email source address to a validated address using Amazon Simple Email Service.aws cognito-idp create-user-pool \ --pool-nameMyUserPool\ --username-attributes"email"\ --email-configuration SourceArn="arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:123456789012:identity/jane@example.com",ReplyToEmailAddress="jane@example.com"Output:
{ "UserPool": { "SchemaAttributes": [ { "Name": "sub", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "1", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": true, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": false }, { "Name": "name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "given_name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "family_name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "middle_name", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "nickname", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "preferred_username", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "profile", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "picture", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "website", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "email", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "AttributeDataType": "Boolean", "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "Name": "email_verified", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "gender", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "birthdate", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "10", "MaxLength": "10" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "zoneinfo", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "locale", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "phone_number", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "AttributeDataType": "Boolean", "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "Name": "phone_number_verified", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "address", "StringAttributeConstraints": { "MinLength": "0", "MaxLength": "2048" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "String", "Mutable": true }, { "Name": "updated_at", "NumberAttributeConstraints": { "MinValue": "0" }, "DeveloperOnlyAttribute": false, "Required": false, "AttributeDataType": "Number", "Mutable": true } ], "MfaConfiguration": "OFF", "Name": "MyUserPool", "LastModifiedDate": 1547837788.189, "AdminCreateUserConfig": { "UnusedAccountValidityDays": 7, "AllowAdminCreateUserOnly": false }, "EmailConfiguration": { "ReplyToEmailAddress": "jane@example.com", "SourceArn": "arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:123456789012:identity/jane@example.com" }, "Policies": { "PasswordPolicy": { "RequireLowercase": true, "RequireSymbols": true, "RequireNumbers": true, "MinimumLength": 8, "RequireUppercase": true } }, "UsernameAttributes": [ "email" ], "CreationDate": 1547837788.189, "EstimatedNumberOfUsers": 0, "Id": "us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa", "LambdaConfig": {} } }For more information, see Authenticating users with Amazon Cognito user pools
