Hello @shivennn ,

Currently, Amplify does not support IAM authentication out of the box. The IAM authentication you are looking for, similar to Amplify Studio, can be accomplished with custom logic using Cognito Lambda triggers. Essentially it's using AWS Lambda functions to modify the authentication behavior of your user pool. Here's more AWS documentation about Lambda triggers: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-working-with-lambda-triggers.html.
