-
-To run these commands, you must have the following permissions: 
-
-  * **Action** : `resource-explorer-2:GetManagedView`
-
-**Resource** : The ARN of the specified view. 
-
-  * **Action** : `resource-explorer-2:ListManagedViews`
-
-**Resource** : The ARN of the specified view. 
-
-
-
-
-**To list your available managed views**
-
-Run the following command to list managed views in the specified AWS Region:
-    
-    
-    aws resource-explorer-2 list-managed-views  --region region

-## Deleting managed views
-
-Managed views can only be deleted by the AWS service that manages them. Before the managing service can delete the view, you may need to perform service-specific tasks to remove a managed view from your account. 
-
-Resource Explorer managed views use the AWS Systems Manager `AWSManagedViewForSSM` unified console resource, which allows Systems Manager to access resource information indexed by Resource Explorer for your organization. If you want to delete the managed view, you must disable the unified console in Systems Manager. For instructions, see [Disabling the Systems Manager unified console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/systems-manager-disable-integrated-console.html) in the _AWS Systems Manager User Guide_.
