AWS marketplace: Require service-linked role for Channel Partner resale

Service: marketplace · 2026-09-27 · Documentation medium

File: marketplace/latest/userguide/channel-partner-offers.md · Type: iam

Summary

Reorders registration requirements and adds a requirement to create a service-linked role (SLR) in AWS Marketplace to create, share, and accept selling authorizations; updates onboarding instructions to provide AWS account ID to ISVs.

Security assessment

The change documents an IAM service-linked role required for resale authorization workflows, which is security-adjacent (permission delegation) but describes a feature requirement rather than a specific vulnerability or incident.

Evidence

+To create, share, and accept selling authorizations, you must create a service-linked role (SLR) that allows ISVs to create and share the authorizations, and allows Channel Partners to accept them. For more information about creating the SLR, see [Creating a service-linked role for AWS Marketplace](./using-roles-for-resale-authorization.html#create-slr).
