Function Overview

The Organizations service provides the following functions:

  • Centralized account management

    Invite multiple accounts to join an organization or create accounts in the organization and then group them hierarchically to meet enterprise management or operational requirements.

  • Centralized action control per account

    The organization administrator uses service control policies (SCPs) to limit the permissions that can be assigned to an organization or the OUs in an organization. The SCPs limit which cloud service consoles and APIs the member accounts in the organization can access.

  • Integration with other Huawei Cloud services

    Integrate Organizations with other Huawei Cloud services (trusted services) to enable the services to perform organization-wide operations. For details about trusted services and related operations, see Trusted Services for Organizations.
