The [AWS Partner Customer Engagements Program](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/ace) provides the framework to enable AWS Partners to drive successful Customer engagements on AWS, whether the engagement originates from AWS Partners via submission through the ACE Opportunities, ACE Leads, or generated by AWS.

This section describes what you must do before using the ACE Opportunities and Leads features, accessible from the **Sell** menu in AWS Partner Central. For requirements for AWS Partners to be able to receive leads and opportunities, refer to [AWS Partner Customer Engagements](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/ace).

During registration for AWS Partner Central, the individual completing the registration processes acknowledged and agreed to the [APN Customer Engagement Program terms and conditions](https://partnercentral.awspartner.com/partnercentral2/s/resources?Id=0690h0000061bwnAAA).

**Note**  
To create, view, edit or manage Leads and Opportunities, a user must be assigned the appropriate permissions in AWS IAM. For more information, see [Accessing Partner Central](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/partner-central/latest/getting-started/controlling-access-in-aws-partner-central.html).
