AWS marketplace: Rename Marketplace Management Portal to AWS Partner Central in onboarding guide

Service: marketplace · 2026-10-06 · Documentation low

File: marketplace/latest/userguide/on-boarding-guide.md · Type: iam

Summary

Three one-line edits replace references to the 'AWS Marketplace Management Portal' with 'AWS Partner Central' (including the console link label and step 6 instructions), preserving the existing IAM-role-versus-root-credentials recommendation and the documentation of the Role Name ARN needed to call the Commerce Analytics Service.

Security assessment

The only substantive delta is the product/console name change; the security best-practice sentence (use IAM roles instead of root credentials when signing in) is carried over verbatim apart from the destination name. No vulnerability is fixed and no new control is introduced, so impact is documentation-only.

Evidence

AWS Marketplace **strongly** recommends using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles to sign in to AWS Partner Central rather than using your root account credentials.
