I am getting invalid security token when testing Role-Based-Access-Control with Cognito #78

I was going through the steps of testing #29 as described in https://github.com/ActoKids/api/wiki/Role-Based-Access-Control and I am getting the following response:

    "message": "The security token included in the request is invalid."
}

Here is a screenshot from the Postman request: image

The tokens assigned by Cognito's identity pool are temporary, so they only last for 1-12 hours. For what it's worth, I stated the token's expiration date and time on the Wiki when the credentials were made last week. Unfortunately, this means the tokens most likely need to be refreshed on-demand for testing purposes.

Closing this issue as it was not a bug issue. We have addressed some of the Cognito issues with the front end for a deliverable of Cognito access.
