# AWS Resource Management Documentation

Learn how to manage your AWS resources.

## Discovering your AWS resources

Search for and discover your resources across the AWS Regions in your AWS account.

- [AWS Resource Explorer User Guide](/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/): Introduces you to AWS Resource Explorer. Explains how to enable search functionality in your AWS account. Also explains how to create views that determine which results are available when searching with that view.
- [AWS Resource Explorer API Reference](/resource-explorer/latest/apireference/): Describes the API operations for AWS Resource Explorer in detail. It provides sample requests, responses, and errors for the supported web service protocols.
- [AWS Resource Explorer section of AWS CLI Reference](/cli/latest/reference/resource-explorer-2/): Describes the AWS CLI commands that you can use to administer the Resource Explorer service and manage the search experience for your users. Provides syntax, options, and usage examples for each command.

## Grouping your AWS resources

Group your resources to manage them as a single unit instead of individually. You can create resource groups that consist of all of the resources that are part of an AWS CloudFormation stack. You can also create a group of all resources that are tagged with specific keys and values.

- [AWS Resource Groups User Guide](/ARG/latest/userguide/): Introduces you to AWS Resource Groups. Explains the basic concepts and includes instructions for using both the console and the command line interface. Learn how to configure groups of AWS resources and build queries of resources to save as groups.
- [AWS Resource Groups API Reference](/ARG/latest/APIReference/): Describes the API operations for AWS Resource Groups in detail. It provides sample requests, responses, and errors for the supported web service protocols.
- [AWS Resource Groups section of AWS CLI Reference](/cli/latest/reference/resource-groups/index.html): Describes the AWS CLI commands that you can use to administer resource groups. Provides syntax, options, and usage examples for each command.

## Sharing your AWS resources

Use AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) to share resources you create in one AWS account with other accounts. If your account is part of an organization, then you can share your resources with all of the accounts in the organization, or with specific organizational units (OUs). Some resource types let you share with individual AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users and roles.

- [AWS RAM User Guide](/ram/latest/userguide/): Introduces you to AWS RAM and helps you set up a resource share. When you create a resource share, you select the resources to share, choose an AWS RAM managed permission per resource type, and specify whom you want to have access to the resources.
- [AWS RAM API Reference](/ram/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html): Describes all the API operations for AWS RAM. Also provides sample requests, responses, and errors for the supported web services protocols.
- [AWS RAM section of the AWS CLI Reference](/cli/latest/reference/ram/index.html): Describes the AWS CLI commands that you can use to administer AWS RAM.

## Tagging your AWS resources

Attach string key and value pairs to your resources to categorize them for a variety of purposes, including [cost allocation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/cost-alloc-tags.html) and security by using [attribute-based access control](http://aws.amazon.com/identity/attribute-based-access-control/).

- [Tag Editor User Guide](/tag-editor/latest/userguide/): Introduces you to AWS Resource Groups and Tag Editor. Explains the basic concepts and includes instructions for using both the console and the command line interface. Learn how to configure groups of AWS resources, build queries of resources to save as groups, and tag resources for easy organization.
- [AWS Resource Groups Tagging API Reference](/resourcegroupstagging/latest/APIReference/): Describes the API operations for tagging AWS resources in detail. It provides sample requests, responses, and errors for the supported web service protocols.
- [Resource Groups Tagging API section of AWS CLI Reference](/cli/latest/reference/resourcegroupstaggingapi/): Describes the AWS CLI commands that you can use to tag, untag, and retrieve information about your tagged resources. Provides syntax, options, and usage examples for each command.
