Defining IAM Roles for Identity Pool with CloudFormation to access s3 bucket

I'm trying to define authorized/unauthorized roles for Identity Pool connected to User Pool with Cloud Formation. I'm using these instructions: https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/storage/getting-started/q/platform/js#using-amazon-s3

But so far I have not succeeded with it. When UI calls Amplify.configure with the identity pool id, I get "Invalid identity pool configuration. Check assigned IAM roles for this pool."

This is what I have: 

  MyCognitoUserPool:
    Type: AWS::Cognito::UserPool
    Properties:
      ...

  MyCognitoUserPoolClient:
    Type: AWS::Cognito::UserPoolClient
    Properties:
      UserPoolId: !Ref MyCognitoUserPool
      GenerateSecret: false

  MyIdentityPool:
    Type: AWS::Cognito::IdentityPool
    Properties: 
      CognitoIdentityProviders: 
        - ClientId: !Ref MyCognitoUserPoolClient
          ProviderName: !GetAtt MyCognitoUserPool.ProviderName      

  MyIdentityPoolAuthRole: 
    Type: AWS::IAM::Role
    Properties: 
      AssumeRolePolicyDocument:

To me there looks to be a couple of issues with the trust policies of your Auth and Unauth roles:

Firstly, the Action that the roles allow should be sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity and not sts:AssumeRole.

  • AssumeRole gives additional temporary permissions to existing IAM users. AssumeRole requires existing valid IAM user credentials.
  • AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity gives temporary credentials to app users that have been authenticated by some web identity provider (such as Cognito User Pools, or Facebook, etc).

Secondly, the condition part of your trust policy should read as follows:

Condition:
  StringEquals:
    cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:aud:
      - !Ref MyIdentityPool
  ForAnyValue:StringLike:
    cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:amr:
      - authenticated # or unauthenticated

The cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:aud part limits the assignment of this role to users who are members of your specific identity pool, whereas you were referencing the arn of your S3 bucket.
