<a name="services-that-can-integrate-ram"></a>

Amazon Resource Access Manager (Amazon RAM) enables you to share specified Amazon resources that you own with other Amazon Web Services accounts. It's a centralized service that provides a consistent experience for sharing different types of Amazon resources across multiple accounts.

For more information about Amazon RAM, see the [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/ram/latest/userguide/what-is.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/ram/latest/userguide/what-is.html).

Use the following information to help you integrate Amazon Resource Access Manager with Amazon Organizations.



## Service-linked roles created when you enable integration
<a name="integrate-enable-slr-ram"></a>

The following [service-linked role](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/IAM/latest/UserGuide/using-service-linked-roles.html) is automatically created in your organization's management account when you enable trusted access. This role allows Amazon RAM to perform supported operations within your organization's accounts in your organization.

You can delete or modify this role only if you disable trusted access between Amazon RAM and Organizations, or if you remove the member account from the organization.

For information about the permissions needed to enable trusted access, see [Permissions required to enable trusted access](orgs_integrate_services.md#orgs_trusted_access_perms).

You can enable trusted access using either the Amazon Resource Access Manager console or the Amazon Organizations console.

**Important**  
We strongly recommend that whenever possible, you use the Amazon Resource Access Manager console or tools to enable integration with Organizations. This lets Amazon Resource Access Manager perform any configuration that it requires, such as creating resources needed by the service. Proceed with these steps only if you can’t enable integration using the tools provided by Amazon Resource Access Manager. For more information, see [this note](orgs_integrate_services.md#important-note-about-integration).   
If you enable trusted access by using the Amazon Resource Access Manager console or tools then you don’t need to complete these steps.

**To enable trusted access using the Amazon RAM console or CLI**  
See [Enable Sharing with Amazon Organizations](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/ram/latest/userguide/getting-started-sharing.html#getting-started-sharing-orgs) in the *Amazon RAM User Guide*.

You can enable trusted access by using either the Amazon Organizations console, by running a Amazon CLI command, or by calling an API operation in one of the Amazon SDKs.
