AWS identity pool for Unity

Objective: Show how to set up an AWS identity pool for a Unity app

So, once you have set up your AWS account and followed the previous article then you should carry on with setting up the identity pool.

Go to AWS console management console and log in, then on the next screen you will want to click on the Manage identity pools button.

On the next screen you will want to click on the create new identity pool button.

On the next screen you will be asked to create a name for your identity pool and decide whether you will be using a login service. I am not for this app so I have chosen the allow unauthorised users.

If you want a login service then choose the Authentication providers or the Allow basic flow. These are not a part of this article.

Once you have made that decision you can click create pool. On the next screen you will need to decide on the roles of your pool. I stayed with the default settings and left the role names the same and clicked allow.

That is it for setting up the identity pool. In another article I will be discussing how to use the pool for your Unity app.
