SetRiskConfiguration - Amazon Cognito User Pools
Request SyntaxRequest ParametersResponse SyntaxResponse ElementsErrorsExamplesSee Also

SetRiskConfiguration

Configures threat protection for a user pool or app client. Sets configuration for the following.

  • Responses to risks with adaptive authentication

  • Responses to vulnerable passwords with compromised-credentials detection

  • Notifications to users who have had risky activity detected

  • IP-address denylist and allowlist

To delete the risk configuration for UserPoolId or ClientId, pass null values for all four configuration types.

To activate Amazon Cognito advanced security features, update the user pool to include the UserPoolAddOns key AdvancedSecurityMode. To activate this setting, your user pool must be on the Plus tier.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

AccountTakeoverRiskConfiguration

The settings for automated responses and notification templates for adaptive authentication with threat protection.

Type: AccountTakeoverRiskConfigurationType object

Required: No

ClientId

The ID of the app client where you want to set a risk configuration. If ClientId is null, then the risk configuration is mapped to UserPoolId. When the client ID is null, the same risk configuration is applied to all the clients in the userPool.

When you include a ClientId parameter, Amazon Cognito maps the configuration to the app client. When you include both ClientId and UserPoolId, Amazon Cognito maps the configuration to the app client only.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: [\w+]+

Required: No

CompromisedCredentialsRiskConfiguration

The configuration of automated reactions to detected compromised credentials. Includes settings for blocking future sign-in requests and for the types of password-submission events you want to monitor.

Type: CompromisedCredentialsRiskConfigurationType object

Required: No

RiskExceptionConfiguration

A set of IP-address overrides to threat protection. You can set up IP-address always-block and always-allow lists.

Type: RiskExceptionConfigurationType object

Required: No

UserPoolId

The ID of the user pool where you want to set a risk configuration. If you include UserPoolId in your request, don't include ClientId. When the client ID is null, the same risk configuration is applied to all the clients in the userPool. When you include both ClientId and UserPoolId, Amazon Cognito maps the configuration to the app client only.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 55.

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

Required: Yes
