AWS::Macie::Session - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

AWS::Macie::Session

The AWS::Macie::Session resource represents the Amazon Macie service and certain configuration settings for an Amazon Macie account in a specific Amazon Web Services Region. It enables Macie to become operational for a specific account in a specific Region. An account can have only one session in each Region.

You must create an AWS::Macie::Session resource for an account before you can create other types of resources for the account. Use a DependsOn attribute to ensure that an AWS::Macie::Session resource is created before other Macie resources are created for an account. For example, "DependsOn": "Session".
