The management account can create a template with baseline configurations for member accounts. In the account factory, you can use the management account to create member accounts under a specified OU, and baseline configurations will be automatically applied to your accounts based on best practices. The management account can use templates in RGC but cannot create templates on the RGC console. You can create templates on the RFS console if needed.

You can select a preconfigured or custom template to quickly create new accounts. All resource configurations defined in the template can be automatically applied to the new accounts.

Procedure

Log in to Huawei Cloud using the management account, and navigate to the RGC console.
Access the Account Factory page, and click Create Account in the upper right corner.

Figure 1 Creating an account
Configure account details, including the email address account name. Ensure that they are not currently used for any existing accounts.

The email address cannot be used for password retrieval or other purposes.
Configure IAM Identity Center details, including the email address and username.

After an account is created, an IAM Identity Center user is automatically created in RGC. You can use an IAM Identity Center username and password to log in to the management console through the user portal URL, and use the email address to retrieve the password. For details, see Logging In as an IAM Identity Center User and Accessing Resources.
