Module Features

In contrast to the plain cognito_user_pool resource this module has a more secure level of default settings.

While all settings can be customized as needed, best practices are pre-configured.

Default Security Settings: Per default, only administrators are allowed to create user profiles by setting allow_admin_create_user_only to true. This module comes with a strong default password policy.

Standard Cognito Features: Create a Cognito User Pool with pre-configured best practices. Create Cognito User Pool Clients. Create a Cognito User Pool Domain. Create Cognito User Pool Resource Servers as associated scopes.

Features not yet implemented: cognito_user_group

Getting Started

Most basic usage just setting required arguments:

module "terraform-aws-cognito-user-pool" {
  source  = "mineiros-io/cognito-user-pool/aws"
  version = "~> 0.9.0"

  name = "application-userpool"
}

Advanced usage as found in examples/complete/main.tf setting all required and optional arguments to their default values.

Module Argument Reference

See variables.tf and examples/ for details and use-cases.

Module Versioning

This Module follows the principles of Semantic Versioning (SemVer).

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, we increment the:

MAJOR version when we make incompatible changes,
MINOR version when we add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
PATCH version when we make backwards compatible bug fixes.

Backwards compatibility in `0.0.z` and `0.y.z` version

Backwards compatibility in versions 0.0.z is not guaranteed when z is increased. (Initial development)
Backwards compatibility in versions 0.y.z is not guaranteed when y is increased. (Pre-release)
