AWS::Macie::Session

The AWS::Macie::Session resource represents the Amazon Macie service and configuration settings for an account. A Session is created for each AWS Region in which you enable Macie.

You must create a Session for an account before you can create an AWS::Macie::FindingsFilter or AWS::Macie::CustomDataIdentifier resource. Use a DependsOn attribute to ensure that the Session is created before the other resources. For example, "DependsOn: Session".
