 ** AllowAdminCreateUserOnly **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-Type-AdminCreateUserConfigType-AllowAdminCreateUserOnly"></a>
The setting for allowing self-service sign-up. When `true`, only administrators can create new user profiles. When `false`, users can register themselves and create a new user profile with the `SignUp` operation.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 ** InviteMessageTemplate **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-Type-AdminCreateUserConfigType-InviteMessageTemplate"></a>
The template for the welcome message to new users. This template must include the `{####}` temporary password placeholder if you are creating users with passwords. If your users don't have passwords, you can omit the placeholder.  
See also [Customizing User Invitation Messages](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pool-settings-message-customizations.html#cognito-user-pool-settings-user-invitation-message-customization).  
Type: [MessageTemplateType](API_MessageTemplateType.md) object  
Required: No

 ** UnusedAccountValidityDays **   <a name="CognitoUserPools-Type-AdminCreateUserConfigType-UnusedAccountValidityDays"></a>
This parameter is no longer in use.  
Configure the duration of temporary passwords with the `TemporaryPasswordValidityDays` parameter of [PasswordPolicyType](API_PasswordPolicyType.md). For older user pools that have a `UnusedAccountValidityDays` configuration, that value is effective until you set a value for `TemporaryPasswordValidityDays`.  
The password expiration limit in days for administrator-created users. When this time expires, the user can't sign in with their temporary password. To reset the account after that time limit, you must call `AdminCreateUser` again, specifying `RESEND` for the `MessageAction` parameter.   
The default value for this parameter is 7.  
Type: Integer  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 365.  
Required: No
