Registering a Delegated Administrator

Function

This API is used to register the specified member account as a delegated administrator to manage the Organizations functions of a specified service. This API grants the delegated administrator the read-only access to Organizations service data. IAM users in the delegated administrator account still need IAM permissions to access and manage the specified service. This API can be called only from the organization's management account.

Debugging

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