Cognito User Group Standards

Cognito User Groups can be created in a Cognito user pool. These Cognito User Groups are also used as User Roles, to conduct authorization.

• A single User Group can contain multiple Cognito Users.
• A single Cognito User can be in multiple Cognito User Groups

To create a Cognito User Group, at least following attributes are required. A User Group can be created in AWS Console ([Amazon Cognito] -> [User pools] -> [unity-user-pool]-> Create group).

• Group name

  • The name of the group. Must be unique within the Cognito User Pool.

  • A string that contains between 1 and 128 non-space characters.

  • Must follow the below naming convention (The words between hyphens such as ProjectName should be camel cased)

       Unity-<ProjectName>-<Venue>-<ApplicationName>-<Role>
    

    E.g.:

       Unity-ProjectA-Dev-App01-Admin
    
       Unity-ProjectB-Test-App02-ReadOnly
    

• Description

  • The group description must be 2048 characters or fewer.
