Configuring a delegated administrator for Explorer - AWS Systems Manager

Configuring a delegated administrator for Explorer

If you aggregate AWS Systems Manager Explorer data from multiple AWS Regions and accounts by using resource data sync with AWS Organizations, then we recommend that you configure a delegated administrator for Explorer.

A delegated administrator can use the following Explorer resource data sync APIs using the console, SDK, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell:

A delegated administrator can create a maximum of five resource data syncs for either an entire organization or a subset of organizational units. Resource data syncs created by a delegated administrator are only available in the delegated administrator account. You can't view the syncs or the aggregated data in the AWS Organizations management account.
