June 27, 2024: This video uses Amplify Gen 1, if you're starting a new Amplify app I recommend trying out Gen 2 - dev.to/aws/introducing-a-new-fullstack-typescript-dx-for-aws-1ap9!

In this tutorial, we'll implement authorization and authentication in React using the AWS Amplify Admin UI. We'll build a Medium-style blog that has different permissions for different types of users, including admins and content owners. We'll add auth on both the front and backend of the site.
