Controlling access in AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps you control access to AWS resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge. If you're an administrator, you control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use AWS Marketplace resources. AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights uses IAM to control access to seller data, assessments, seller self-attestation, and industry standard audit reports.

The recommended way to control who can do what in AWS Marketplace Management Portal is to use IAM to create users and groups. Then you add the users to the groups, and manage the groups. You can assign a policy or permissions to the group that provide read-only permissions. If you have other users that need read-only access, you can add them to the group you created rather than adding permissions to their AWS account.

A policy is a document that defines the permissions that apply to a user, group, or role. The permissions determine what users can do in AWS. A policy typically allows access to specific actions, and can optionally grant that the actions are allowed for specific resources, like Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon S3 buckets, and so on. Policies can also explicitly deny access. A permission is a statement within a policy that allows or denies access to a particular resource.

Important

All of the users that you create authenticate by using their credentials. However, they use the same AWS account. Any change that a user makes can impact the whole account.

AWS Marketplace has permissions defined to control the actions that someone with those permissions can take in AWS Marketplace Management Portal. There are also policies that AWS Marketplace creates and manages that combine several permissions. The AWSMarketplaceSellerProductsFullAccess policy gives the user full access to products in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal.
