AWS marketplace: Add selling authorization EventBridge events to seller notifications

Service: marketplace · 2026-11-07 · Documentation medium

File: marketplace/latest/userguide/notifications-eventbridge.md · Type: authz

Summary

Renames the "Events for new offers" section/table entries to "Events for offers" and adds a new "Events for selling authorizations" section documenting the `Resale Authorization Released` and `Resale Authorization Restricted` detail types (source `aws.marketplacecatalog`). Adds `issuedAuthorization` and `receivedAuthorization` detail objects (id, ARN, name, issuer/recipient account IDs and names) to offer-created event examples, and states that a restricted selling authorization can no longer be used to create selling authorizations or offers.

Security assessment

The diff documents EventBridge notifications for the selling-authorization (resale delegation) lifecycle, including `Resale Authorization Released` and `Resale Authorization Restricted` events delivered to both issuer and recipient, plus `issuedAuthorization`/`receivedAuthorization` payloads exposing issuer/recipient account IDs and ARNs. This is authorization-delegation and audit/monitoring documentation rather than a fix for a specific vulnerability, so it is authorization-adjacent hardening/observability guidance (medium), not a remediation of a known flaw.

Evidence

+When a selling authorization is restricted, the issuer and the recipient of the selling authorization receive an event with the following detail type: `Resale Authorization Restricted`. A restricted selling authorization can no longer be used to create selling authorizations or offers.

+When the recipient of a manufacturer's selling authorization uses it to publish a selling authorization to another partner, the manufacturer also receives a `Resale Authorization Released` event.
