AWS marketplace: Update sign-in destination to AWS Partner Central in seller account registering

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

File: marketplace/latest/userguide/seller-account-registering.md · Type: iam

Summary

Identical registration guidance edit: references to the AWS Marketplace Management Portal replaced with AWS Partner Central, keeping the recommendation to use IAM roles instead of root account credentials.

Security assessment

The change is a rename of the sign-in portal only; the underlying security best practice (IAM roles rather than root account credentials) is retained unchanged, so no new security posture or fix is delivered.

Evidence

To register as a seller in AWS Marketplace, you can use an existing AWS account or create a new account. All AWS Marketplace interactions are tied to the account that you choose. 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.
