Subscription verification for providers in AWS Data Exchange
As a provider, when you create a new public product, you have the option to enable subscription verification on the Add public offer section of the Publish new product page.
Subscription verification gives you the ability to review a potential subscriber’s identity and approve that subscriber for your product. Approving subscription requests to your product can be useful when you have restricted or regulated products, or you have products that you want to limit access to.
When the verification option is not enabled, you won’t have access to the identity of your subscribers.
When you turn on the verification option, potential subscribers must complete a form about who they are and what they intend to do with the data before they can subscribe.
The form requires the following information:
-
Prospective subscriber's contact details, including contact name, company name, and email address
-
Prospective subscriber's intended use case
-
Prospective subscriber's AWS account ID
Important
The subscriber must enter information in each field, but AWS Data Exchange doesn't review or validate the information. You're solely responsible for reviewing and verifying the information that the subscriber provides.
For more information about how to enable subscription verification for your product, see Publishing a new product in AWS Data Exchange.
After you enable subscription verification for your product, you can view, approve, or decline all subscription verification requests for all of your products. Use the Subscription verification page under Publish data on the AWS Data Exchange console. For more information, see Approve or decline requests for subscription verification in AWS Data Exchange.
Note
Subscription verification is automatically enabled for all public products from Extended Provider Program (EPP) providers that contain non-public, personal information.
Each subscription request is uniquely identified using its ID. The ID is visible to both the provider and the subscriber. You can use the subscription request ID in your communications with the subscriber.
If you change the product offer terms after a subscriber makes the request, the terms for that subscriber reflect the terms as they were at the time of the request, not the updated terms. Examples of changes to terms include the price, refund policy, or data subscription agreement. If you changed the product offer terms after the request was submitted, a message is displayed in the approval pane of the AWS Data Exchange console to indicate there is a difference between current terms and the terms in place when the request was made.
The AWS Data Exchange console maintains a history of requests. You control when you delete the subscriber’s contact details and personally identifiable information (PII). For more information about how to view the request history, see Viewing subscription verification requests in AWS Data Exchange.
You can also edit the subscription verification option after the product is published. For more information, see Editing a subscription verification request in AWS Data Exchange.
