You can achieve this by using a combination of Amazon Cognito Identity Pools, IAM roles, and S3 bucket policies.
Here's a high-level overview of how you can set this up:
- Cognito User Pools: Continue to use Cognito User Pools to manage your users. You can create groups in your user pool to represent different roles or levels of access. For example, you might have a "FullAccess" group for users who should have access to all files, and then individual groups for each folder for users who should only have access to specific folders.
- Cognito Identity Pools: Use a Cognito Identity Pool to provide AWS credentials to your users. When you set up the identity pool, you can specify different IAM roles to be assumed by authenticated users. You can also set up role mappings to choose which IAM role a user should assume based on their user pool group.
- IAM Roles: Create IAM roles with policies that grant the necessary S3 permissions. For example, you might have a role with a policy that allows access to all objects in your S3 bucket, and then individual roles for each folder with policies that only allow access to the objects in those folders.
Here's an example of how you can set up the role mappings in your identity pool:
{
"Rules": [
{
"Claim": "cognito:groups",
"MatchType": "Equals",
"Value": "FullAccess",
"RoleARN": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/FullAccessRole"
},
{
"Claim": "cognito:groups",
"MatchType": "Equals",
"Value": "Folder1",
"RoleARN": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Folder1Role"
},
{
"Claim": "cognito:groups",
"MatchType": "Equals",
"Value": "Folder2",
"RoleARN": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Folder2Role"
}
],
"DefaultRoleARN": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DefaultRole"
}
FullAccessRole Policy: This policy allows access to all objects in the S3 bucket.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
}
]
}
Folder2Role Policy: This policy allows access only to objects in Folder2 of the S3 bucket.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/Folder2/*"
}
]
}

Thank you for your response, and my apologies for the delayed reply. I have a follow-up question: Could the user potentially be a member of multiple groups? This is my main issue, I understand that identity pool can only inherent one rules for the user pool am I wrong?
I require a scalable solution for this matter, as my application needs to support multiple organizations.
