Identity Pool creation error on AWS console

I am trying to create a new identity pool on Amazon Congnito console but its shows an error message when I submit a name

There was a problem creating your identity pool. Please try again.

I have confirmed that the pool name I am providing is unique and does not already exist.

Is there any pre-work I do need to perform before creating a pool?

I was seeing the error because of a whitespace in the beginning of AppID in the field.

We just experienced this same issue. Make sure you have this role:

My issue was that I had used email as the username but I failed to mark it as a required attribute. It makes sense... but sort hard to figure out without a specific error message.

I just ran into this error while using a federated login on the console. When I logged in under a normal IAM user I was able to create the user pool just fine. Cloudtrail didn't seem to have record of the failed attempts either, adding to the confusion.

I was able to work around this by removing the custom attributes I had specified. I was then able to add the custom attributes after the user pool was created.

This problem is resolved. The account I was using to create Identity Pool did not have admin privileges. I was able to successfully create an identity pool after using admin credentials. I know its kind of a silly outcome but AWS console was showing a generic message and I was expecting it to show me authorization issues if there was any problem with my account.
