Getting started with HAQM Cognito
Documentation and resources to get you started
HAQM Cognito User Pools - A directory for all your users
You can quickly create your own directory to sign up and sign in users, and to store user profiles using HAQM Cognito User Pools. User Pools provide a user interface you can customize to match your app. User Pools also enable easy integration with social identity providers such as Facebook, Google, and HAQM, and enterprise identity providers such as Microsoft Active Directory through SAML.
HAQM Cognito Federated Identities – Access control for your resources
You can control access to your backend AWS resources and APIs through HAQM Cognito so users of your app get only the appropriate access. You can map users to different roles and permissions and get temporary AWS credentials for accessing AWS services such as HAQM S3, HAQM DynamoDB, HAQM API Gateway, and AWS Lambda.
