Resource Management:Enable cross-account resource search

Last Updated:Jul 17, 2026

By default, Resource Center only shows resources in the current Alibaba Cloud account. If your enterprise uses a resource directory, you can enable cross-account resource search with the management account or the delegated administrator account to view resources across all member accounts.

Background information

For more information about a resource directory, see What is Resource Directory?.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource Center > Cross-account Resource Search.

  3. Click Enable Cross-Account Resource Search.

    After you enable this feature, Resource Center is activated for all members in the resource directory, and a service-linked role named AliyunServiceRoleForResourceMetaCenter is created for each member. Resource Center assumes this role to obtain the directory structure and build a multi-account resource center. For more information, see Service-linked role for Resource Center.

    The system typically takes a few minutes to build the resource center and update resource information. Large numbers of resources may require more time.
