Question

How do I add AdminQueries when i am using Imported Cognito Auth? I have been following the docs in setting up everything. When i have my auth set up to use an existing cognito, running amplify update auth returns "Updating imported Auth resource is not supported". I am not trying to update the existing i want to add AdminQueries. Is this just not supported?

Just to add some context here. I have an app with different backend environments (Prod, stage, dev) and i want them different other than the auth which is a shared cognito user pool. the 1st environment i created has the adminqueries as the auth was created there and not imported

@rexwreyes thank you for reaching out. This is currently an unsupported workflow, as Amplify CLI does not maintain the lifecycle of an imported auth resource. Did notice the documentation provides information on using a existing auth resource which may be attributing this.
You should be able to manually create a REST API and function with access to the imported auth resource and build the function queries.
Marking this feature-request and documentation to add callout on using a imported auth resource.
