How do I use Amazon Cognito identity pools to grant users access to AWS services?
I want to use Amazon Cognito user pools to give users access to AWS resources.
"I want to use Amazon Cognito user pools to give users access to AWS resources.ResolutionYou can integrate Amazon Cognito identity pools with Amazon Cognito user pools to issue temporary credentials to access AWS resources. Set up an authentication provider by configuring an identity pool with a user pool. After authenticating a user through the user pool, use the user identity token with an authentication flow to retrieve temporary credentials from the identity pool. There's a basic authentication flow and an enhanced authentication flow to retrieve temporary credentials.Important: In the following example AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, replace all instances of example strings with your values. (For example, replace "example_identity_pool_id" with your identity pool ID or "abcdef" with your AWS Region's identity ID.)Basic flowNote: If you receive errors when running AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, make sure that you’re using the most recent AWS CLI version.Perform the following steps to retrieve temporary AWS credentials using the basic authflow:1.    From the old Amazon Cognito console, choose Manage Identity Pools. Select the name of the Amazon Cognito identity pool that you're updating, and then choose Edit identity pool. Under Authentication flow settings, select Allow Basic (Classic) Flow, and then save the changes.2.    To generate or retrieve a user identity in the identity pool, call the GetId API.An example get-id command:aws cognito-identity get-id --identity-pool-id "example_identity_pool_id" --logins cognito-idp.example_region.amazonaws.com/example_cognito_user_pool_id=example_cognito_user_id_tokenAn example output:{    "IdentityId": "region:abcdef"}3.    To retrieve the open ID token, use the result from step 2 to call the GetOpenIdToken API.An example get-open-id-token command:aws cognito-identity get-open-id-token --identity-id "region:abcdef" --logins cognito-idp.example_region.amazonaws.com/example_user_pool_id=example_cognito_user_id_tokenAn example output:{    "IdentityId": "region:abcdef",    "Token": "HIJKLMN"}4.    To retrieve the temporary credentials of the authenticated role, use the token from step 3 to call the AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API.An example assume-role-with-web-identity command:aws sts assume-role-with-web-identity --role-arn "example_auth_role_arn_of_the_identity_pool" --web-identity-token "HIJKLMN" --role-session-name "example_session_name"An example output:{    "Credentials": {        AccessKeyId": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",        SecretAccessKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",        SessionToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",        Expiration": ""    },    "SubjectFromWebIdentityToken": "",    "AssumedRoleUser": {        "AssumedRoleId": "",        "Arn": ""    },    "Provider": "cognito-identity.amazonaws.com",    "Audience": ""}Enhanced flowPerform the following steps to retrieve temporary AWS credentials using the enhanced authflow:1.    To generate or retrieve a user identity in the Amazon Cognito identity pool, call the GetId API.An example get-id command:aws cognito-identity get-id --identity-pool-id "example_identity_pool_id" --logins cognito-idp.example_region.amazonaws.com/example_cognito_user_pool_id=example_cognito_user_id_tokenAn example output:{    "IdentityId": "region:abcdef"}2.    To retrieve temporary credentials from the identity pool, call the GetCredentialsForIdentity API.An example get-credentials-for-identity command:aws cognito-identity get-credentials-for-identity --identity-id region:abcdef --logins cognito-idp.example_region.amazonaws.com/example_cognito_user_pool_id = example_cognito_user_id_tokenAn example output:{    "IdentityId": "region:abcdef",    "Credentials": {        "AccessKeyId": "xxxxxxxxxx",        "SecretKey": "xxxxxxxxxx",        "SessionToken": "xxxxxxxxxx",        "Expiration": ""    }}To learn more about complex role-based access controls and attribute-based access controls, see Fine-grained access control with Amazon Cognito identity pools.Related informationIdentity pools (federated identities) authentication flowFollow"
