Overview of Organizations

What Is Organizations?

An organization is an entity that you create to manage multiple accounts. Each organization is composed of exactly one management account, multiple member accounts, and one root OU with many other OUs organized in a hierarchical, tree-like structure. You can group member accounts into the root or any of the OUs. For details about the basic concepts of Organizations, see Basic Concepts.
