Amazon Cognito introduces administrator creation of users in Your User Pools

By

With this launch, administrators and developers can create users in an Amazon Cognito user pool. A user pool is a fully managed user directory that makes it easy to add sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps. Use the new AdminCreateUser API to set up accounts for new users and send them a customized invitation with their user name and a temporary password. You can also use this feature to control membership in a user pool by only allowing administrators to create users or also allowing users to sign themselves up.

AWS CloudFormation Adds Improved Permissions Controls, Cross-Stack Reference Enhancements, and Resource Coverage Updates

By

You can now allow AWS CloudFormation to assume service roles which determine what CloudFormation is allowed to do with your stack. A service role is an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role which can be assigned permissions that determine which AWS resources CloudFormation can create, update, or delete. For example, you could create a service role that only allows CloudFormation to perform actions with Amazon EC2. Previously, CloudFormation would use the default permissions from the user credentials you used to access CloudFormation. Using service roles with CloudFormation, you can now more easily set granular permissions to CloudFormation for different AWS accounts or IAM users. To get started, you can set a service role when creating, updating, or deleting a stack. You will also need permission to pass the role to CloudFormation. Learn more about this feature in the documentation .
