Instead of assigning capabilities to individual users and service accounts, you use groups in CDF to define what capabilities members (users or applications) have to work with different CDF resources. Follow the steps below to manage CDF group membership from Amazon Cognito.
When you create users in Amazon Cognito, the email and name user attributes are mandatory.
