title: AWS AppSync - Public & Private Queries
body: <p>I want to give "guest / public" access to some queries in AppSync. But only let fully signed up users run mutations or other queries.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed <a href="https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Amplify</a> and configured the auth module to generate an identity pool and a user pool. I can see on the dashboard for identity pools that I have one unauthorized access (myself testing).</p>
  
  <p>But I cannot execute any queries if I am not registered. My AppSync settings are set to "Cognito User Pool" with "default action" allow. </p>
  
  <p>Has anybody solved this kind of problem yet?</p>
