Can not fetch the AWS_COGNITO_KEY and AWS_COGNITO_SECRET.

Hi

I try to create a new IAM Role with the following Access Rights:

AmazonCognitoDeveloperAuthenticatedIdentities AmazonCognitoPowerUser AmazonESCognitoAccess

But I cannot fetch the AWS_COGNITO_KEY and AWS_COGNITO_SECRET?

Please help me understand it

Thanks.

Hey and sorry for the late reply. If you create a new IAM role, you will be asked on the first page for the access type. Here you need to select the first checkbox: Programmatic access. Then you create a custom group and add those access rights to it. Once done, you click on create user and you should see a page where you get two credentials, those are your AWS_COGNITO_KEY and AWS_COGNITO_SECRET. It must be called something like access key id and secret access key. Something like that. I hope that helps you and you can fetch the credentials.

Best Regards.
