AWS Cognito to Cloud Identity Migration Path

What would be the migration path from AWS Cognito to Cloud Identity? On the AWS Cognito side there are only user pools, no identity pools.  Also I don't see any migration service to export 100+ users from AWS Cognito to Cloud Identity. I see Firebase Auth also an alternate option by the way.

It is getting to confuse me . I found another service called Identity Platform also in GCP and this seems to be distinct from Cloud Identity service.

My use case is a client facing web app (deployed on a GCE VM as backend) that needs to support OIDC and Google accounts with RBAC feature

I found my answer. Cloud Identity is used for workforce identity federation while Identity platform is a CIAM and is what i need. Are RBAC options available with Identity Platform?

This might help in terms of configuring custom claims and then validating them within your application:

Thanks @alexmoore 

hi @alexmoore sorry to bother you again. Is it possible to bring your own sign in page from AWS Cognito to Identity Platform. This link mentions about a prebuilt authentication UI that is available with Identity Platform but missing steps on how to build a custom login page.
