UserPoolType

The configuration of a user pool.

This data type is a response parameter of CreateUserPool, UpdateUserPool, and DescribeUserPool.

Contents

AccountRecoverySetting

The available verified method a user can use to recover their password when they call ForgotPassword. You can use this setting to define a preferred method when a user has more than one method available. With this setting, SMS doesn't qualify for a valid password recovery mechanism if the user also has SMS multi-factor authentication (MFA) activated. In the absence of this setting, Amazon Cognito uses the legacy behavior to determine the recovery method where SMS is preferred through email.

Type: AccountRecoverySettingType object

Required: No

AdminCreateUserConfig

The configuration for AdminCreateUser requests.

Type: AdminCreateUserConfigType object

Required: No

AliasAttributes

Attributes supported as an alias for this user pool. An alias is an attribute that users can enter as an alternative username. Possible values: phone_number, email, or preferred_username.

Required: No

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

CustomDomain

A custom domain name that you provide to Amazon Cognito. This parameter applies only if you use a custom domain to host the sign-up and sign-in pages for your application. An example of a custom domain name might be auth.example.com.

Type: String

Valid Values: ACTIVE | INACTIVE

Required: No

DeviceConfiguration

UserAttributeUpdateSettings

The settings for updates to user attributes. These settings include the property AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate, a user-pool setting that tells Amazon Cognito how to handle changes to the value of your users' email address and phone number attributes. For more information, see Verifying updates to email addresses and phone numbers.

Type: UserAttributeUpdateSettingsType object

Required: No

UsernameAttributes

Specifies whether a user can use an email address or phone number as a username when they sign up.

Type: Array of strings

Valid Values: phone_number | email

UsernameConfiguration

Case sensitivity of the username input for the selected sign-in option. When case sensitivity is set to False (case insensitive), users can sign in with any combination of capital and lowercase letters. For example, username, USERNAME, or UserName, or for email, [e-mail] or [e-mail]. For most use cases, set case sensitivity to False (case insensitive) as a best practice. When usernames and email addresses are case insensitive, Amazon Cognito treats any variation in case as the same user, and prevents a case variation from being assigned to the same attribute for a different user.

This configuration is immutable after you set it. For more information, see UsernameConfigurationType.

Type: UsernameConfigurationType object

Required: No

UserPoolAddOns

Contains settings for activation of threat protection, including the operating mode and additional authentication types. To log user security information but take no action, set to AUDIT. To configure automatic security responses to potentially unwanted traffic to your user pool, set to ENFORCED.
