AdminCreateUser operation: PreSignUp invocation failed due to error AccessDeniedException.

[usernamemikem]

Hi,

Seem so simple but I get the following error trying to add a user to a Cognito User pool.

An error occurred (UnexpectedLambdaException) when calling the AdminCreateUser operation: PreSignUp invocation failed due to error AccessDeniedException.

I'm using my own Admin credentials, it not a Lambda, I'm running it in Visual Studio but I do get the same error with my Lambda. I thought that error happens when the Pool is invoking the Lambda, which is not the case.

client = boto3.client('cognito-idp',region_name='us-east-1')

response = client.admin_create_user(
UserPoolId = poolid,
Username = ["Username"],
UserAttributes = ["Attributes"],
MessageAction = "SUPPRESS",
DesiredDeliveryMediums = [
'EMAIL',
]
)

I get the proper response if the user already exists.

My code looks exactly like all examples I've seen.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

This is what you get when you inherit other peoples work, LOL!

The pool I was testing with, the Lambda defined under Associated Integrations no longer exists. I removed it from the pool and my restore worked.

I love playing connect the dots. :)
