Description

Creates a new Amazon Cognito user pool and sets the password policy for the pool.

Parameters

-AdminCreateUserConfig_AllowAdminCreateUserOnly <Boolean>
Set to True if only the administrator is allowed to create user profiles. Set to False if users can sign themselves up via an app.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-AdminCreateUserConfig_UnusedAccountValidityDay <Int32>
The user account expiration limit, in days, after which the account is no longer usable. To reset the account after that time limit, you must call AdminCreateUser again, specifying "RESEND" for the MessageAction parameter. The default value for this parameter is 7. If you set a value for TemporaryPasswordValidityDays in PasswordPolicy, that value will be used and UnusedAccountValidityDays will be deprecated for that user pool.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAdminCreateUserConfig_UnusedAccountValidityDays
-AliasAttribute <String[]>
Attributes supported as an alias for this user pool. Possible values: phone_number, email, or preferred_username.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAliasAttributes
-AutoVerifiedAttribute <String[]>

-DeviceConfiguration_ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice <Boolean>
Indicates whether a challenge is required on a new device. Only applicable to a new device.
Required?False
Position?Named

-DeviceConfiguration_DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt <Boolean>
If true, a device is only remembered on user prompt.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EmailConfiguration_ConfigurationSet <String>
The set of configuration rules that can be applied to emails sent using Amazon SES. A configuration set is applied to an email by including a reference to the configuration set in the headers of the email. Once applied, all of the rules in that configuration set are applied to the email. Configuration sets can be used to apply the following types of rules to emails:
  • Event publishing – Amazon SES can track the number of send, delivery, open, click, bounce, and complaint events for each email sent. Use event publishing to send information about these events to other AWS services such as SNS and CloudWatch.
  • IP pool management – When leasing dedicated IP addresses with Amazon SES, you can create groups of IP addresses, called dedicated IP pools. You can then associate the dedicated IP pools with configuration sets.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EmailConfiguration_EmailSendingAccount <EmailSendingAccountType>
Specifies whether Amazon Cognito emails your users by using its built-in email functionality or your Amazon SES email configuration. Specify one of the following values:
COGNITO_DEFAULT
When Amazon Cognito emails your users, it uses its built-in email functionality. When you use the default option, Amazon Cognito allows only a limited number of emails each day for your user pool. For typical production environments, the default email limit is below the required delivery volume. To achieve a higher delivery volume, specify DEVELOPER to use your Amazon SES email configuration.To look up the email delivery limit for the default option, see Limits in Amazon Cognito in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.The default FROM address is no-reply@verificationemail.com. To customize the FROM address, provide the ARN of an Amazon SES verified email address for the SourceArn parameter.
DEVELOPER
When Amazon Cognito emails your users, it uses your Amazon SES configuration. Amazon Cognito calls Amazon SES on your behalf to send email from your verified email address. When you use this option, the email delivery limits are the same limits that apply to your Amazon SES verified email address in your AWS account.If you use this option, you must provide the ARN of an Amazon SES verified email address for the SourceArn parameter.Before Amazon Cognito can email your users, it requires additional permissions to call Amazon SES on your behalf. When you update your user pool with this option, Amazon Cognito creates a service-linked role, which is a type of IAM role, in your AWS account. This role contains the permissions that allow Amazon Cognito to access Amazon SES and send email messages with your address. For more information about the service-linked role that Amazon Cognito creates, see Using Service-Linked Roles for Amazon Cognito in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)

If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.

If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.

As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
