AWS AppSync GraphQL API Schema: Unknown argument "cognito_groups" on directive "@aws_cognito_user_pools".

[mjmangeles]

I've noticed some recent changes in the AppSync UI within the AWS console. Upon reviewing the Schema tab of my GraphQL API, I encountered an error regarding the @aws_cognito_user_pools directive. Specifically, it seems to be related to restricting access to a specific Cognito user group, which was functioning correctly before the update.

I've searched for any official updates or documentation from AWS about this issue but haven't found any relevant information. Is there an updated syntax or a new way to define group-specific access in AWS AppSync that I might be missing? Below is a snippet from my schema where the error occurs:

type Query {
    @aws_cognito_user_pools(cognito_groups: ["admin"])
   getAllUsers: [User]
}

The error message displayed in the console is: Unknown argument "cognito_groups" on directive "@aws_cognito_user_pools".

Any insights or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. I've also tried replacing the cognito_groups argument with groups, but the error still persists.
