Creating an OU

You can create an OU in your organization's root OU. OUs can be nested up to five levels deep.

To create an OU:

1. Log in to Huawei Cloud as the organization administrator or using the management account, navigate to the Organizations console, and access the Organization page.
2. Select the parent OU by clicking its name rather than the expand icon. If you are creating an OU for the first name, select the Root OU.

   OUs can be nested up to five levels deep. Each OU can have only one parent OU but can have many child OUs. When creating an OU, ensure that the parent OU you select is the upper-level one.

3. Choose Add > Add Organizational Unit.

4. In the displayed dialog box, enter the OU name.
5. (Optional) Add a tag to the OU.

   A tag consists of a key-value pair. Tags are used to identify, classify, and search for OUs. A maximum of 20 tags can be added to an OU.

   Table 1 describes the key and value descriptions of a tag.
