Integrating the Player Account Cloud Gem into an Existing Project

To integrate the Player Account Cloud Gem into an existing project, you must enable the Player Account Cloud Gem, update your deployment stack, and integrate the gem into your game menu.

To integrate the Player Account Cloud Gem into an existing project

Enable the gem. In the Project Configurator, click Cloud Gem Player Account.
Create or update the project stack.
The Player Account Cloud Gem uses an Amazon Cognito user pool. If you created your project using a version of Lumberyard earlier than 1.9, update it by opening a command prompt window in the \dev directory and entering the following command.
```
lmbr_aws project update
```
Create or update the deployment stack. Be sure the CloudGemPlayerAccount resource group is added to your deployment. If your deployment doesn’t have the CloudGemPlayerAccount resource group, make sure that the Cloud Gem Player Account gem is enabled in the Project Configurator.
At a command prompt, enter the following command to update the deployment access stack.
```
lmbr_aws deployment update-access
```
This ensures that the CloudGemPlayerAccount resource group is correctly linked to the PlayerAccess identity pool in the deployment access stack.
Integrate the gem into your game menu. We recommend that you include the following features:
- A global signout – This security feature allows players to invalidate an account’s tokens across all devices if a device has been lost or stolen. The sample level shows how to offer this as a standalone feature. If the previous password was compromised and already used to obtain authentication tokens, you can also have the menu automatically globally sign out after a password change. To implement this functionality, do the following:
  1. Monitor the CloudGemPlayerAccountNotifications::OnChangePasswordComplete EBus event.
  2. When you receive confirmation that the password change has succeeded, send the following event.
```
EBUS_EVENT(CloudGemPlayerAccountRequestBus, GlobalSignOut, username)
```
- Email verification – An email verification step ensures that email can be used to recover account access if a password has been forgotten. You can customize the content of the verification emails by using Lambda triggers. To add a new Lambda trigger to the AWS CloudFormation template, use the LambdaConfig property of PlayerUserPool in the dev\Gems\CloudGemPlayerAccount\AWS\resource-template.json file.
