AWS managed views
A managed view is how other AWS services can access resource information indexed by Resource Explorer for your AWS account or organization with your consent.
About managed views
Managed views can be updated or deleted only by the service that created the managed view. An AWS service creates a managed view using IAM forward access sessions (FAS) or a service-linked role (SLR).
Resource Explorer uses a resource-based policy to control access to the managed view. When an AWS service creates a managed view, Resource Explorer attaches the resource-based policy to the view. This policy allows the managing AWS service to use and delete the view and allows view's resource owners to list and retrieve details about the view. The following is an example resource-based policy attached to a managed view:

Resource Explorer managed views use the AWS Systems Manager AWSManagedViewForSSM unified console
resource, which allows Systems Manager to access resource information indexed by Resource Explorer for your
organization. If you want to delete the managed view, you must disable the unified console in
Systems Manager. For instructions, see Disabling the Systems Manager unified console in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.
