AWS Marketplace sellers offering software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions frequently seek guidance on understanding the options and best practices for granting buyers access to their software solutions. To address these questions, we explain the three main available access options that can help sellers effectively design and build access mechanisms to their SaaS solutions listed in AWS Marketplace.

In this blog post, we describe an approach for controlling access to AWS Marketplace repositories using IAM policies with least privilege permissions assigned to IAM user accounts or roles. We demonstrate this capability through the experiences of three personas, defined as follows:

· AWS Marketplace Administrator – This user has full admin access in AWS marketplace.
· Developer – This user has limited access to push images to defined repositories.
· Read-only user – This user has access to describe and list images only, with pushing actions being blocked.
