This topic describes the impacts, limitations, and steps to deactivate Resource Center.
Impact
After you deactivate Resource Center, you can no longer use it to view your resource data:
For a standalone Alibaba Cloud account, you can no longer view the resource data within that account.
For a management account of a Resource Directory or a delegated administrator account for Resource Center, deactivating the service also disables the cross-account resource search feature. You can no longer view resource data from the current account or any member in the Resource Directory. Additionally, members cannot view resource data in their own accounts.
After you deactivate Resource Center, dependent features, such as the resource management module on the Console homepage and Cloud Config, can no longer access resource data.
Limitations
You cannot deactivate Resource Center from a management account or a delegated administrator account if the cross-account search feature was enabled by a different account.
For example, if the management account of your Resource Directory enabled the cross-account search feature, you cannot use a delegated administrator account to deactivate the feature. Only the management account that enabled the feature can deactivate it.
To deactivate Resource Center, you must first disable any dependent services or features, such as Cloud Config or the ability to transfer associated resources between resource groups.
Procedure
Log on to the Resource Management console.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose .
In the Deactivate Resource Center section, click Deactivate.
In the Deactivate Resource Center dialog box, click OK.
