Controlling access in AWS Partner Central account management

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service you can use at no additional charge that helps you control access to AWS resources. AWS Partner Central account management uses IAM for AWS Partner Central authentication and authorization. Administrators can use IAM roles to control who can sign in to AWS Partner Central and what AWS Partner Central permissions they have.

Important

AWS Partner Central users that you create authenticate using their credentials. However, they must use the same AWS account. Any change a user makes can impact the entire account.

For more information about available actions, resources, and condition keys, refer to Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS services.
