Use AMS Self-Service Provisioning (SSP) mode to access Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) capabilities directly in your AMS managed account. Amazon Simple Email Service is a cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers, send marketing, notification, and transactional emails.
You can use the SMTP interface or one of the AWS SDKs to integrate Amazon SES directly into your existing applications. You can also integrate the email sending capabilities of Amazon SES into the software you already use, such as ticketing systems and email clients.

account, you must onboard the role in your federation solution.
