Amazon AppStream 2.0 User Pools
The AppStream 2.0 user pool provides a simplified way to manage access to applications for your users through a persistent portal for each AWS Region. This feature is a built-in alternative to user management through Active Directory and SAML 2.0 federation. Stacks can't be assigned to users in the user pool if the stacks are associated with a fleet that is joined to an Active Directory domain.
The AppStream 2.0 user pool provides the following key features:
-
Users can access application stacks through a persistent URL and login credentials by using their email address and a password that they choose.
Users' email addresses are case-sensitive. During login, if they specify an email address that doesn't use the same capitalization as the email address specified when their user pool account was created, a "user does not exist" error message displays.
-
You can assign multiple stacks to users. Doing so enables AppStream 2.0 to display multiple application catalogs to users when they log in.
-
When you create new users, a welcome email is automatically sent to them. The email includes instructions, a login portal link, and a temporary password for connecting to the login portal.
-
After you create users, they are enabled unless you specifically disable them.
-
You can control which users have access to which application stacks, or disable access completely.
