AWS marketplace: Rename 'audiences' to 'AWS account groups' in Private Marketplace best practices

Service: marketplace · 2026-10-22 · Documentation low

File: marketplace/latest/buyerguide/best-practices.md

Summary

Terminology update replacing references to 'audiences' with 'AWS account groups' in the default governing experience and audit guidance for Private Marketplace.

Security assessment

The only change is a terminology rename ('audience' -> 'AWS account group'); the governance and audit guidance itself is unchanged, so there is no new or fixed security control.

Evidence

It is recommended to configure a default governing experience to govern your entire organization. This experience should be associated with your organization root as the AWS account group and curated with products that you approve for all your users.
