  description: <p>With the Amazon Cognito user pools API, you can set up user pools and app clients, and authenticate users. To authenticate users from third-party identity providers (IdPs) in this API, you can <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation-consolidate-users.html">link IdP users to native user profiles</a>. Learn more about the authentication and authorization of federated users in the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-userpools-server-contract-reference.html">Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints</a>.</p> <p>This API reference provides detailed information about API operations and object types in Amazon Cognito. At the bottom of the page for each API operation and object, under <i>See Also</i>, you can learn how to use it in an Amazon Web Services SDK in the language of your choice.</p> <p>Along with resource management operations, the Amazon Cognito user pools API includes classes of operations and authorization models for client-side and server-side user operations. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pools-API-operations.html">Using the Amazon Cognito native and OIDC APIs</a> in the <i>Amazon Cognito Developer Guide</i>.</p> <p>You can also start reading about the <code>CognitoIdentityProvider</code> client in the following SDK guides.</p> <ul> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/cognito-idp/index.html#cli-aws-cognito-idp">Amazon Web Services Command Line Interface</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkfornet/v3/apidocs/items/CognitoIdentityProvider/TCognitoIdentityProviderClient.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for .NET</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://sdk.amazonaws.com/cpp/api/LATEST/aws-cpp-sdk-cognito-idp/html/class_aws_1_1_cognito_identity_provider_1_1_cognito_identity_provider_client.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for C++</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/cognitoidentityprovider/#CognitoIdentityProvider">Amazon Web Services SDK for Go</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/services/cognitoidentityprovider/CognitoIdentityProviderClient.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for Java V2</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for JavaScript</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-cognito-idp-2016-04-18.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for PHP V3</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/cognito-idp.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for Python</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-ruby/v3/api/Aws/CognitoIdentityProvider/Client.html">Amazon Web Services SDK for Ruby V3</a> </p> </li> </ul> <p>To get started with an Amazon Web Services SDK, see <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/developer/tools/">Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services</a>.

      description: <p>Links an existing user account in a user pool (<code>DestinationUser</code>) to an identity from an external IdP (<code>SourceUser</code>) based on a specified attribute name and value from the external IdP. This allows you to create a link from the existing user account to an external federated user identity that has not yet been used to sign in. You can then use the federated user identity to sign in as the existing user account. </p> <p> For example, if there is an existing user with a username and password, this API links that user to a federated user identity. When the user signs in with a federated user identity, they sign in as the existing user account.</p> <note> <p>The maximum number of federated identities linked to a user is five.</p> </note> <important> <p>Because this API allows a user with an external federated identity to sign in as an existing user in the user pool, it is critical that it only be used with external IdPs and provider attributes that have been trusted by the application owner.</p> </important> <note> <p>Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.</p> <p class="title"> <b>Learn more</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-signing.html">Signing Amazon Web Services API Requests</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pools-API-operations.html">Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints</a> </p> </li> </ul> </note>
