Inviting an Account to Join Your Organization

When you invite a HUAWEI ID or Huawei Cloud account to join your organization, Organizations sends an invitation to the ID or account owner, who then chooses to accept or reject the invitation. You can use the Organizations console to issue and manage invitations that you send to other accounts.

The accounts you invite to join your organization must have completed real-name authentication. For details, see Real-Name Authentication.

The original accounting relationship (master-member association) of invited accounts will remain unchanged. If you want to change the relationship, refer to the documentation of Enterprise Center.
