AWS marketplace: Seller eligibility requirement updated to AWS Partner Central sign-in

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

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

Summary

The eligibility bullet requiring IAM roles for portal sign-in now names AWS Partner Central as the sign-in destination instead of the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, while still strongly recommending against root account credentials.

Security assessment

Only the destination service name changed; the eligibility rule requiring IAM roles instead of root credentials is preserved, making this a low-severity editorial update to already-existing security guidance.

Evidence

Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles to sign in to AWS Partner Central rather than using root account credentials (strongly recommended)
