Linking AWS Partner Central and AWS accounts
AWS recently updated the
AWS Partner Central Network (APN) fee policy
Important
This change is part of a larger migration to using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control user access to Partner Central. You must link to an AWS account that has the IAM roles and permissions needed to access Partner Central.
Account linking has other benefits:
-
You can use Partner Connections to work on coselling deals with other partners. This can progress deals faster and expand your reach. For more information, see Partner connections in the AWS Partner Central Sales Guide.
-
You can use the AWS Partner Central API to integrate Partner Central with your CRM system. Integration synchronizes engagements, opportunities, solutions, and real-time event notifications. For more information, refer to AWS Partner CRM integration in the AWS Partner CRM Integration Guide.
-
If you're an ACE eligible partner who links to an AWS Marketplace seller account, AWS Demand Generation Representatives pre-qualify leads from AWS Marketplace and transfer validated AWS originated opportunities to you.
The following topics explain how to link accounts.
