reactjs - React, spring boot, aws cognito and aws api gateway integration

Question

I am new to the aws environment and I need your help.

I'm working on a project with:

frontend: an react app deployed on S3

backend: spring boot on EC2 and the rest API end points are published on AWS API gateway

Requirement: We have to do role based user authorization, based on the user logged in the react dashboard menu will be built dynamically, so every user will have role privileges.

I know the user auth request from react app will be sent to cognito and now here we need to send role privileges to the react app to built the dashboard menu. Where do we store this user role privileges ? Can we store them in cognito or do we need to put them in database ? If we put them in database than How I send them to react app ? Does AWS API gateway can be used here ?

Who verifies the jwt token ? can API gateway verify the jwt token with cognito or do we need to implement it in Spring Boot App.

Please help me!
