Options¶

--client-id (string)

The ID of the client associated with the user pool.

--secret-hash (string)

A keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) calculated using the secret key of a user pool client and username plus the client ID in the message.

--username (string)

The user name of the user you wish to register.

--password (string)

The password of the user you wish to register.

--user-attributes (list)

An array of name-value pairs representing user attributes.

For custom attributes, you must prepend the custom: prefix to the attribute name.

(structure)

Specifies whether the attribute is standard or custom.

Name -> (string)

The name of the attribute.

Value -> (string)

The value of the attribute.

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--validation-data (list)

The validation data in the request to register a user.

(structure)

Specifies whether the attribute is standard or custom.

Name -> (string)

The name of the attribute.

Value -> (string)

The value of the attribute.

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--analytics-metadata (structure)

The Amazon Pinpoint analytics metadata for collecting metrics for SignUp calls.

AnalyticsEndpointId -> (string)

The endpoint ID.

Shorthand Syntax:

AnalyticsEndpointId=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "AnalyticsEndpointId": "string"
}

--user-context-data (structure)

Contextual data such as the user’s device fingerprint, IP address, or location used for evaluating the risk of an unexpected event by Amazon Cognito advanced security.

EncodedData -> (string)

Contextual data such as the user’s device fingerprint, IP address, or location used for evaluating the risk of an unexpected event by Amazon Cognito advanced security.

Shorthand Syntax:

EncodedData=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "EncodedData": "string"
}

--client-metadata (map)

A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for any custom workflows that this action triggers.

You create custom workflows by assigning AWS Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the SignUp API action, Amazon Cognito invokes any functions that are assigned to the following triggers: pre sign-up , custom message , and post confirmation . When Amazon Cognito invokes any of these functions, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a clientMetadata attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your SignUp request. In your function code in AWS Lambda, you can process the clientMetadata value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs.

For more information, see Customizing User Pool Workflows with Lambda Triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .

Note

Take the following limitations into consideration when you use the ClientMetadata parameter:

Amazon Cognito does not store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to AWS Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration does not include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose.

Amazon Cognito does not validate the ClientMetadata value.

Amazon Cognito does not encrypt the the ClientMetadata value, so don’t use it to provide sensitive information.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To sign up a user

This example signs up jane@example.com.

Command:

aws cognito-idp sign-up --client-id 3n4b5urk1ft4fl3mg5e62d9ado --username jane@example.com --password PASSWORD --user-attributes Name="email",Value="jane@example.com" Name="name",Value="Jane"

Output:

{
  "UserConfirmed": false,
  "UserSub": "e04d60a6-45dc-441c-a40b-e25a787d4862"
}

Output¶

UserConfirmed -> (boolean)

A response from the server indicating that a user registration has been confirmed.

CodeDeliveryDetails -> (structure)

The code delivery details returned by the server response to the user registration request.

Destination -> (string)

The destination for the code delivery details.

DeliveryMedium -> (string)

The delivery medium (email message or phone number).

AttributeName -> (string)

The attribute name.

UserSub -> (string)

The UUID of the authenticated user. This is not the same as username .
