AWS Marketplace and AWS Organizations
AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog that you can use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services that you need to build solutions and run your businesses.
AWS Marketplace creates and manages licenses using AWS License Manager for your purchases in AWS Marketplace. When you share (grant access to) your licenses with other accounts in your organization, AWS Marketplace creates and manages new licenses for those accounts.
For more information, see Service-linked roles for AWS Marketplace in the AWS Marketplace Buyer Guide.
Use the following information to help you integrate AWS Marketplace with AWS Organizations.

Enabling trusted access with AWS Marketplace
For information about the permissions needed to enable trusted access, see Permissions required to enable trusted access.
You can enable trusted access using either the AWS Marketplace console or the AWS Organizations console.
Important
We strongly recommend that whenever possible, you use the AWS Marketplace console or tools to enable integration with Organizations. This lets AWS Marketplace perform any configuration that it requires, such as creating resources needed by the service. Proceed with these steps only if you can’t enable integration using the tools provided by AWS Marketplace. For more information, see this note.
If you enable trusted access by using the AWS Marketplace console or tools then you don’t need to complete these steps.
To enable trusted access using the AWS Marketplace console
See Creating a service-linked role for AWS Marketplace in the AWS Marketplace Buyer Guide.
You can enable trusted access by using either the AWS Organizations console, by running a AWS CLI command, or by calling an API operation in one of the AWS SDKs.
Disabling trusted access with AWS Marketplace
For information about the permissions needed to enable trusted access, see Permissions required to enable trusted access.
You can only enable trusted access using the Organizations tools.
You can disable trusted access by running a Organizations AWS CLI command, or by calling an Organizations API operation in one of the AWS SDKs.
