AI-ASSISTED REPORTING · RETROSPECTIVE ARCHIVE

Retrospective edition: 2026-04-09. Source published: 2026-04-09. Added to this archive: 2026-11-03. This briefing was prepared later from the linked announcement; it was not published on this website on the historical edition date.

AWS Private CA now supports customer managed permissions in AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM), empowering administrators to specify granular API operation access for shared certificate authorities across accounts. This replaces the prior all-or-nothing AWS managed permission model, improving security and flexibility.

Administrators can choose from read and write operations, lift restrictions on certificate templates for cross-account issuers, and assign permissions per consuming account or organizational unit. This feature is available in all AWS regions supporting Private CA and RAM, supporting tailored PKI governance in multi-account environments.
