UserPoolGroup

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS Cognito UserPoolGroups using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The UserPoolGroup resource lets you manage AWS Cognito UserPoolGroups to organize users and control their access to resources.

Create a basic user pool group with required properties and a common optional property:

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const userPoolGroup = await AWS.Cognito.UserPoolGroup("myUserPoolGroup", {
UserPoolId: "us-west-2_aBcDeFgHi",
GroupName: "Admins",
Description: "Administrators group with full access"
});

Configure a user pool group with a specific role and precedence:

const advancedUserPoolGroup = await AWS.Cognito.UserPoolGroup("adminUserPoolGroup", {
UserPoolId: "us-west-2_aBcDeFgHi",
GroupName: "SuperAdmins",
Description: "Super Administrators with elevated privileges",
RoleArn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Cognito_SuperAdmin_Role",
Precedence: 1
});

If you want to adopt an existing user pool group instead of failing when it already exists, you can set the adopt property:

const adoptedUserPoolGroup = await AWS.Cognito.UserPoolGroup("existingUserPoolGroup", {
UserPoolId: "us-west-2_aBcDeFgHi",
GroupName: "ExistingGroup",
adopt: true // Adopts the existing resource
});

Demonstrate managing group members by using the RoleArn property to assign permissions:

const groupWithRole = await AWS.Cognito.UserPoolGroup("roleAssignedGroup", {
UserPoolId: "us-west-2_aBcDeFgHi",
GroupName: "Editors",
Description: "Editors group for content management",
RoleArn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Cognito_Editor_Role"
});
