Creating an Account (Recommended)

Function

This API is used to create an account without specifying the mobile number and email address. The created account automatically becomes a member of the organization holding the account that calls this API. It can be called only from the organization's management account. The Organizations service creates the required service-linked agency and account access agency in the new account.

Debugging

You can debug this API through automatic authentication in API Explorer or use the SDK sample code generated by API Explorer.

Authorization Information

Each account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions.

If you are using role/policy-based authorization, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions for details on the required permissions.
If you are using identity policy-based authorization, no identity policy-based permission required for calling this API.
