When a seller authorizes a third-party service like Seller Labs to access their seller account through MWS, they now receive an email with the subject \u201cEnabled MWS Developer Access Confirmation\u201d.

Here\u2019s what it\u00a0means in real terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The provider you just granted access to\u00a0<strong>HAS BEEN APPROVED<\/strong>\u00a0and has access to your account through MWS. \u00a0There is no need to click the link to grant access.<\/li>\n<li>If you choose, you can enable an additional feature, named \u201cMWS Developer Access Confirmation\u201d. \u00a0This additional feature automatically disables third-party access to your account after a year, unless you re-confirm that they have permission before that time. If you don\u2019t click the link in the email, the party will be able to access your account indefinitely, unless you specifically revoke access.<\/li>\n<li>If you choose to enable the MWS Developer Access Confirmation\u2014which we encourage\u2014you should audit these permissions periodically (at least annually) so that authorized third parties can continue to access your account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before enabling this feature, you can navigate to the User Permissions section inside Seller Central, and you\u2019ll see the third\u00a0parties authorized to access your account through MWS.
