# Sharing resources with accounts in your organization
<a name="sharing-definitions"></a>

 You can share applications and attribute groups to an account, organizational unit, or organization. 

 AppRegistry integrates with AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM), so you can view a list of resource shares associated with applications and attribute groups. For more information, see [What is AWS Resource Access Manager?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/what-is.html) in the *AWS Resource Access Manager User Guide*. 

 When you create a resource share for an account, organization, or organizational unit, you can access the application or attribute group with the permission type that you select. For more information, see [Sharing your AWS resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/getting-started-sharing.html#getting-started-sharing-orgs) in the *AWS Resource Access Manager User Guide*. 

 This section describes how to create and manage resource shares for applications and attribute groups. 

**Note**  
 When you create an application, AppRegistry vends a user tag called *the `awsApplication` tag*. You can add this tag to resources to identify which resources are associated with an application. The `awsApplication` tag is included in all shared applications. For more information, see [The `awsApplication` tag](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html#ar-user-tags).
