Description

Registers a user with an app client and requests a user name, password, and user attributes in the user pool. Amazon Cognito doesn't evaluate Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you can't use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you can't grant IAM permissions in policies. For more information about authorization models in Amazon Cognito, see Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints. This action might generate an SMS text message. Starting June 1, 2021, US telecom carriers require you to register an origination phone number before you can send SMS messages to US phone numbers. If you use SMS text messages in Amazon Cognito, you must register a phone number with Amazon Pinpoint. Amazon Cognito uses the registered number automatically. Otherwise, Amazon Cognito users who must receive SMS messages might not be able to sign up, activate their accounts, or sign in. If you have never used SMS text messages with Amazon Cognito or any other Amazon Web Services service, Amazon Simple Notification Service might place your account in the SMS sandbox. In sandbox mode, you can send messages only to verified phone numbers. After you test your app while in the sandbox environment, you can move out of the sandbox and into production. For more information, see SMS message settings for Amazon Cognito user pools in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide. You might receive a LimitExceeded exception in response to this request if you have exceeded a rate quota for email or SMS messages, and if your user pool automatically verifies email addresses or phone numbers. When you get this exception in the response, the user is successfully created and is in an UNCONFIRMED state.

Parameters

-AnalyticsMetadata_AnalyticsEndpointId <String>
The endpoint ID. Information that you want to pass to Amazon Pinpoint about where to send notifications.

Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CGIP.AnonymousAmazonCognitoIdentityProviderClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientId <String>
The ID of the app client where the user wants to sign up.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientMetadata <Hashtable>
A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for any custom workflows that this action triggers.You create custom workflows by assigning Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the SignUp API action, Amazon Cognito invokes any functions that are assigned to the following triggers: pre sign-up, custom message, and post confirmation. When Amazon Cognito invokes any of these functions, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a clientMetadata attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your SignUp request. In your function code in Lambda, you can process the clientMetadata value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs.For more information, see Using Lambda triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.When you use the ClientMetadata parameter, note that Amazon Cognito won't do the following:
  • Store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration doesn't include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose.
  • Validate the ClientMetadata value.
  • Encrypt the ClientMetadata value. Don't send sensitive information in this parameter.
Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Password <String>
The user's proposed password. The password must comply with the password requirements of your user pool.Users can sign up without a password when your user pool supports passwordless sign-in with email or SMS OTPs. To create a user with no password, omit this parameter or submit a blank value. You can only create a passwordless user when passwordless sign-in is available.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SecretHash <String>
A keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) calculated using the secret key of a user pool client and username plus the client ID in the message. For more information about SecretHash, see Computing secret hash values.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.CognitoIdentityProvider.Model.SignUpResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CognitoIdentityProvider.Model.SignUpResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UserAttribute <AttributeType[]>
An array of name-value pairs representing user attributes.For custom attributes, include a custom: prefix in the attribute name, for example custom:department. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesUserAttributes
-UserContextData_EncodedData <String>
Encoded device-fingerprint details that your app collected with the Amazon Cognito context data collection library. For more information, see Adding user device and session data to API requests.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UserContextData_IpAddress <String>
The source IP address of your user's device.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Username <String>
The username of the user that you want to sign up. The value of this parameter is typically a username, but can be any alias attribute in your user pool.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ValidationData <AttributeType[]>
Temporary user attributes that contribute to the outcomes of your pre sign-up Lambda trigger. This set of key-value pairs are for custom validation of information that you collect from your users but don't need to retain.Your Lambda function can analyze this additional data and act on it. Your function can automatically confirm and verify select users or perform external API operations like logging user attributes and validation data to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.For more information about the pre sign-up Lambda trigger, see Pre sign-up Lambda trigger. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
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). When supplied the cmdlet will attempt to read the default region to be used from the credential file's default profile.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.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.
Required?False
Position?212
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.If the Region parameter is supplied the cmdlet ignores the ProfileLocation parameter.
Required?False
Position?211
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall

Outputs

Amazon.CognitoIdentityProvider.Model.SignUpResponse
