C The error message "AccessDenied -- Not authorized to perform sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity" indicates that there was a problem with assuming the role associated with the authenticated principal in the AWS Security Token Service (STS). This error could be caused by a failure to properly authenticate the user with the identity provider. When a user logs in to an app that uses Amazon Cognito web identity federation, the app obtains temporary AWS credentials that allow it to access AWS services on behalf of the user. These credentials are obtained by exchanging the user's identity token, obtained from the identity provider, for temporary AWS credentials using the AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API in AWS STS. If there is an issue with the authentication process, the app may not be able to obtain valid temporary credentials, leading to the "AccessDenied" error message. This is a common cause of errors when using web identity federation with Amazon Cognito.
