Today, AWS announces the availability of AWS Partner Central in the AWS Management Console, simplifying access for AWS Partners to Partner Central and the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, and introducing APIs that offer integration and process automation capabilities. The integration of AWS Partner Central into the AWS Console delivers an enhanced experience and new capabilities for Partners. With an expanded set of APIs, partners can automate co-selling processes, streamline AWS Marketplace activities, and unlock AWS Partner Network benefits more seamlessly. Enhanced security and user management features, built on AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), allow for granular permissions and single sign-on (SSO), improving operational efficiency and scalability. AWS Partner Central in the console is available for AWS Partners today. This new experience is available in all AWS Regions, providing Partners with a consistent and secure way to manage their AWS business across the globe. Existing Partners can begin their migration to the new experience using the migration feature in the existing Partner Central portal, which provides step-by-step guidance for migrating to the AWS Console. To learn more about the new AWS Partner Central experience and how to get started, read the blog.

Today, AWS announces the general availability of account color settings in AWS Management Console across all Public Regions. AWS customers now have an easy way to identify their accounts at a glance. Using the account color setting, account admins can assign a color to their AWS account (such as red for production accounts or yellow for testing accounts) that appears in the Console's navigation bar for all authorized users in that account, enabling quick visual identification of different accounts. AWS customers manage multiple accounts to separate their workloads, such as maintaining distinct accounts for development and production environments or for different business units. Previously, users had to rely on account numbers to identify accounts. With this new feature, users with admin privileges can assign colors to AWS accounts, enabling all authorized users to quickly identify the account they want to operate on through the colored navigation bar. When signing in to the AWS Console, users see a default grey color in the navigation bar. Users with admin privileges can change this color through the 'Account' option in the navigation bar's account menu, on the top right of the page. Once the color is set, all users with proper permissions can see it. To view the account color, users need to be assigned permissions using the AWS managed policy AWSManagementConsoleBasicUserAccess or the custom permission uxc:getaccountcolor.

Today, AWS announces multi-sesssion support which enables customers to access multiple AWS accounts in the AWS Console. Customers can sign-in to up to 5 sessions in a single browser, and this can be any combination of root, IAM, or federated roles in different accounts or in the same account. Customer applications scale multiple accounts following AWS best-practice guidelines. They often use accounts for different environments such as development, testing, production, and compare resource configurations and statuses across multiple accounts for troubleshooting application issues and other application related jobs. Before this launch, the AWS Console supported one account sign-in at a time, and customers used mechanism such as signing-in accounts in different browsers or installing third-party browser plugins to access multiple accounts in different browsers. Using multi-session capability in the AWS Console, customers can sign-in to their different AWS accounts and manage their resources in a single browser. Multi-session support is available in Commercial Regions. Try it today by signing in to https://console.aws.amazon.com/, selecting the account menu, and selecting “Turn on multi-session”. You can opt out at any time from the account menu. Visit https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsconsolehelpdocs/latest/gsg/multisession.html to learn more.
