Adds additional user attributes to the user pool schema¶

Description¶

Adds additional user attributes to the user pool schema. Custom attributes can be mutable or immutable and have a ⁠custom:⁠ or ⁠dev:⁠ prefix. For more information, see Custom attributes.

You can also create custom attributes in the Schema parameter of create_user_pool and update_user_pool. You can't delete custom attributes after you create them.

Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.
