# ExclusionByResourceTypes
Specifies whether the configuration recorder excludes certain resource types from being recorded. Use the `resourceTypes` field to enter a comma-separated list of resource types you want to exclude from recording.
By default, when Amazon Config adds support for a new resource type in the Region where you set up the configuration recorder, including global resource types, Amazon Config starts recording resources of that type automatically.
**Note**
**How to use the exclusion recording strategy **
To use this option, you must set the `useOnly` field of [RecordingStrategy](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/config/latest/APIReference/API_RecordingStrategy.html) to `EXCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES`.
Amazon Config will then record configuration changes for all supported resource types, except the resource types that you specify to exclude from being recorded.
**Global resource types and the exclusion recording strategy **
Unless specifically listed as exclusions, `AWS::RDS::GlobalCluster` will be recorded automatically in all supported Amazon Config Regions were the configuration recorder is enabled.
IAM users, groups, roles, and customer managed policies will be recorded in the Region where you set up the configuration recorder if that is a Region where Amazon Config was available before February 2022. You cannot be record the global IAM resouce types in Regions supported by Amazon Config after February 2022. For a list of those Regions, see [Recording Amazon Resources \$1 Global Resources](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/config/latest/developerguide/select-resources.html#select-resources-all).
