aws-cognito-idp: Create a user in a specific pool.
$ aws cognito-idp admin-create-user --username ${username} --user-pool-id ${user_pool_id}
try on your machine

The command "aws cognito-idp admin-create-user" is used to create a new user in an Amazon Cognito user pool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "aws cognito-idp" is the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) command for Amazon Cognito Identity Provider.
  • "admin-create-user" is the specific action being performed, which is the creation of a new user by an administrator.
  • "--username ${username}" is an option flag that specifies the username for the new user. The value for this flag should be provided in the ${username} variable.
  • "--user-pool-id ${user_pool_id}" is another option flag that specifies the user pool ID where the new user should be created. The value for this flag should be provided in the ${user_pool_id} variable.

To execute this command, you need to replace ${username} and ${user_pool_id} variables with actual values. The username should be unique within the user pool, and the user pool ID can be found in your Amazon Cognito console or retrieved programmatically.
