Usage

cognitoidentityprovider_create_resource_server(UserPoolId, Identifier,
  Name, Scopes)

Arguments

UserPoolId

[required] The ID of the user pool where you want to create a resource server.

Identifier

[required] A unique resource server identifier for the resource server. The identifier can be an API friendly name like solar-system-data. You can also set an API URL like ⁠https://solar-system-data-api.example.com⁠ as your identifier.

Amazon Cognito represents scopes in the access token in the format ⁠$resource-server-identifier/$scope⁠. Longer scope-identifier strings increase the size of your access tokens.

Name

A list of custom scopes. Each scope is a key-value map with the keys ScopeName and ScopeDescription. The name of a custom scope is a combination of ScopeName and the resource server Name in this request, for example MyResourceServerName/MyScopeName.
