Getting Started

Cognito has two AWS services, and the plugin has a client object for each:

Client object	Create node	Used for
Cognito Idp Platform	Create Cognito Idp Platform	User pools: sign-up, sign-in, users, groups. The nodes in AWS > Cognito.
Cognito Identity Platform	Create Cognito Identity Platform	Identity pools: Get Id, Get Credentials For Identity, Get Open Id Token and the identity pool management nodes. The nodes in AWS > Cognito > Identity.

Create the ones you need. Each takes Credentials, a Client Configuration and a Callback. See Initializing the Plugin.

Credentials

• Player actions such as Sign Up, Confirm Sign Up, Initiate Auth, Forgot Password, Get Id and Get Credentials For Identity don't need AWS credentials. Leave Credentials empty for them, so you don't ship an access key in the game.
• Admin actions (the nodes that start with Admin) and the user pool and identity pool management nodes need an IAM user with Cognito permissions. Only use them from a backend or a tool.

Region

Set Region in the Client Configuration to the region of your user pool or identity pool, for example eu-north-1. The region is part of the pool id: eu-north-1_AbCdEfGhI.

Call a node

Pass the client object and a request to the node, and use the Callback. See Using the Plugin for the outputs.

When you are done, call Destroy Cognito Idp Object or Destroy Cognito Identity Object.
