Using shared SSM documents - AWS Systems Manager
Use a shared SSM document (command line)

Using shared SSM documents

When you share an AWS Systems Manager (SSM) document, the system generates an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) and assigns it to the command. If you select and run a shared document from the Systems Manager console, you don't see the ARN. However, if you want to run a shared SSM document using a method other than the Systems Manager console, you must specify the full ARN of the document for the DocumentName request parameter. You're shown the full ARN for an SSM document when you run the command to list documents.

Note

You aren't required to specify ARNs for AWS public documents (documents that begin with AWS-*) or documents that you own.
