# PutConnector
<a name="API_PutConnector"></a>

Creates a connector that specifies the connection between a third-party cloud service provider and AWS Config.

A connector is required to create a service-linked configuration recorder for a third-party cloud service provider using the [PutThirdPartyServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutThirdPartyServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html) operation.

This API creates a service-linked role `AWSServiceRoleForConfigThirdParty` in your account. The service-linked role is created only when the role does not exist in your account.

**Note**  
 **Connectors cannot be updated**   
To update the connector configuration, you must delete all associated configuration recorders, delete the connector, and recreate it with the updated configuration.

**Note**  
 **Tags are added at creation and cannot be updated with this operation**   
Use [TagResource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_TagResource.html) and [UntagResource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_UntagResource.html) to update tags after creation.

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).

 ** ConflictException **   
For [PutServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html), you cannot create a service-linked recorder because a service-linked recorder already exists for the specified service.  
For [PutThirdPartyServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutThirdPartyServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html), you cannot create a service-linked recorder because the specified service principal does not support multiple configuration recorders and one already exists.  
For [PutThirdPartyServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutThirdPartyServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html), another in-progress operation is currently referencing the same connector or service principal. Please try again later.  
For [PutConnector](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutConnector.html), you cannot create a connector because a connector already exists for the specified connector configuration.  
For [DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html), you cannot delete the service-linked recorder because it is currently in use by the linked AWS service.  
For [DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html), another in-progress operation is currently referencing the same connector. Please try again later.  
For [DeleteConnector](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteConnector.html), another in-progress operation is currently referencing the connector. Please try again later.  
For [DeleteDeliveryChannel](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteDeliveryChannel.html), you cannot delete the specified delivery channel because the customer managed configuration recorder is running. Use the [StopConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_StopConfigurationRecorder.html) operation to stop the customer managed configuration recorder.  
For [AssociateResourceTypes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_AssociateResourceTypes.html) and [DisassociateResourceTypes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DisassociateResourceTypes.html), one of the following errors:  
+ For service-linked configuration recorders, the configuration recorder is not in use by the service. No association or dissociation of resource types is permitted.
+ For service-linked configuration recorders, your requested change to the configuration recorder has been denied by its linked AWS service.
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** InsufficientPermissionsException **
