# AWS Partner Central settings
<a name="partner-central-settings"></a>

In addition to capturing company profile details in the Partner and Seller profile sections, partners can manage other details, such as contact information, tags, and domains in the AWS Partner Central settings tab.

Navigate to the AWS Partner Central settings page from the left-hand navigation menu. At the top of the page, you will see a snapshot of your Account Summary, including:
+ **Legal business name:** This Legal business name was provided during the Registration process. This name is only visible to you. To change how your company name appears to other AWS Partners or customers browsing the AWS Marketplace, navigate to Partner profiles menu item and update your Partner and/or Seller profile Display Name.
+ **Partner Account status:** During Registration, if all account details were successfully verified, this will show as Active.
+ **AWS Marketplace account status:** During Registration, an AWS Marketplace account was also created.

**Note**  
The existence of an AWS Marketplace account does not mean all partners must sell on the AWS Marketplace. To list and sell your products or services on the AWS Marketplace, review the [AWS Marketplace Seller Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/user-guide-for-sellers.html).

Beneath the Account Summary tab, you can manage specific AWS Partner Central account settings by selecting the corresponding tab.

## Alliance lead contact
<a name="alliance-lead-contact"></a>

During Registration, contact details were collected, called the "alliance lead contact". This is the primary contact for the account. Only one contact can be added to an account. Additional contacts can be added to specific AWS resources, for example on a specific Opportunity, Fund Request or Support ticket. Contacts captured at the resource level will receive targeted communications related to that specific resource.

**Important**  
All AWS Partner Network communications and key updates, such as the APN Newsletter or email announcements about changes in policies or new feature launches, will only be sent to this primary contact. For organizations who wish to distribute communications to a wider audience, we recommend using a shared email alias as the primary contact, which will allow for communication to go to all individuals with access to that shared inbox.

Additional contacts can be added within specific workflows, such as during opportunity and fund request creation, or program application submission. Specific notifications about these workflows, such as when an opportunity stage changes or when a fund request or program application is approved, will be sent to the individual contact collected within that workflow at the time of resource creation. These individual contact details can be updated within the resource itself.

## Registered catalogs
<a name="registered-catalogs"></a>

When you create your product and the first version of your software, it's initially published in a limited scope so that only your account can access it. When you're ready, you can publish it to the AWS Marketplace catalog to allow buyers to subscribe and purchase your product.

## Training and Certifications
<a name="training-certifications"></a>

Partners can manage the domains associated with their account for the purpose of Training and Certification access and credit in the Training and Certification tab.

# Associating domains for AWS Training and Certification tracking
<a name="associating-domains"></a>

AWS uses Training and Certification achievements to validate technical expertise. These achievements are required for Tier progression and certain APN program eligibility.

Learners will log into Skill Builder by using their company email address and the "AWS Builder ID" login method. Based on the domains associated to their company's AWS Partner Central account, Skill Builder learners are granted access to partner-specific training content and the ability to manage the association of a personal certification email address within their Skill Builder profile.

**Important**  
This represents a change in how learners access Skill Builder and associate certifications on personal email address with their company. For more information, review the [Training and Certification Guide](https://partnercentral.awspartner.com/partnercentral2/s/article?category=Introductory_resources&article=Training-and-Certification)).

Partners can manage the domains associated to their account for the purpose of Training and Certification credit in the Training and Certification tab within AWS Partner Central settings.

## Adding a domain
<a name="adding-domain"></a>

Associated domains are validated by a one-time-passcode sent to an email address that contains the desired domain. Ensure you have access to the email inbox that will receive the verification code to successfully complete the validation process.

**Note**  
Only users with specific permissions assigned in IAM can add or remove domains. For more information on managing IAM permissions, see [AWS managed policies for AWS Partner Central users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/partner-central/latest/getting-started/managed-policies.html).

1. Choose the **Associate domain** button

1. Enter in an e-mail address of the owned domain and choose **Send verification code**. Check for typos before sending.
**Note**  
A code should be delivered to the entered email address in less than 5 minutes. If you did not receive the code, you have up to 5 attempts to receive the code. Once the code has been sent, you have 48 hours to enter the code into the text box for verification. If you are unable to receive a code, please reach out to the [AWS Partner Central Support](https://partnercentral.awspartner.com/partnercentral2/s/support) team via the left-side navigation menu.

1. Enter the code and choose **Associate domain**. If successful, you will be re-directed to the previous page and the newly associated domain will appear in the list of associated domains.

## Removing a domain
<a name="removing-domain"></a>

1. Select the domain you wish to remove and the **Remove domain** button will activate.

1. Choose **Remove domain** or to un-do, choose **Clear selection**.

1. To ensure partners do not accidentally remove domains, users will see a prompt to manually type "remove" into a text box to proceed with removing a domain. Type in "remove" and then choose **Remove domain**.

## Tags
<a name="tags"></a>

Tags allow partners to label specific resources (such as Opportunities or Fund Requests) and control access based on these tags. For example, partners can tag opportunities by Region or Sector and restrict individual user access in IAM to these specific segments of their AWS Partner Central data.

Each tag has a key and a value. For each resource, each tag key must be unique and can only have one value. Don't include sensitive information in tags.

### Create or update tags
<a name="create-update-tags"></a>

Choose the Tags tab for a summary of all existing tags. To create a new tag:

1. Choose the **Create AWS Partner Central tag** button in the top right-hand corner.

1. From the Manage Partner Tags page, you can remove existing tags by choosing **Remove** next to the associated tag or choose **Add new tag** to create new ones.
