Associating Principals and Resources

Function

This API is used to associate a list of specified principals or resources with a resource share. If a resource is associated, the principals that have the permission to access the resource share will gain the permission to access that resource in the resource share. If a principal is associated, the principal will have the permission to access the shared resources in the resource share.

Authorization Information

Each account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions.

If you are using role/policy-based authorization, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions for details on the required permissions.
