I am looking into using AWS-Cognito as a means to manage and authenticate users. I do not want to use aws api-gateway or any of their other services really. It seems though you can only create roles or policies if they are related to some other aws service. I'd like to have these custom roles or policies on the user's id token returned from Cognito. Is it possible to create these custom roles or policies or am I restricted to only roles and policies related to amazon services? I have found tried the Create your own policy, but it throws an error if it doesn't match a specific action or resource known to aws services. Thanks.

You can use Cognito User Pools to authenticate your users. Then you can call STS to issue temporary credentials based upon your own rules (policies). Look into examples using assumeRole().
If you want an integrated / managed service then use Cognito Federated Identities for authorization and Cognito Users Pools or Google, etc. for authentication.
Sort of confusing, but think of Cognito User Pools (or Facebook, etc.) as the Identity Provider and Cognito Federated Users as the Permissions broker.
