        <h2 id="orgs_manage_accounts_create-considerations">Considerations before creating a member account</h2>

        <p><b>Organizations automatically creates the IAM role
                    <code class="code">OrganizationAccountAccessRole</code> for the member
            account</b></p>

        <p>When you create a member account in your organization, Organizations automatically creates the
            IAM role <code class="code">OrganizationAccountAccessRole</code> in the member account that enables
            users and roles in the management account to exercise full administrative control over
            the member account. Any additional accounts attached to the same managed policy will be
            updated automatically whenever the policy gets updated. This role is subject to any
                <a href="./orgs_manage_policies_scps.html">service control policies (SCPs)</a>
            that apply to the member account.</p>

        <p><b>Organizations automatically creates the service-linked role
                    <code class="code">AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations</code> for the member account</b></p>

        <p>When you create a member account in your organization, Organizations automatically creates
            service-linked role <code class="code">AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations</code> in the member account that enables
            integration with select AWS services. You must configure the other services to allow
            the integration. For more information, see <a href="./orgs_integrate_services.html#orgs_integrate_services-using_slrs">AWS Organizations and service-linked roles</a>.</p>

        

        <p><b>Member accounts can only be created in the root of an
                organization</b></p>

        <p>Member accounts in an organization can only be created in the root of an organization.
            After you create a member account root of an organization, you can move it between OUs.
            For more information, see <a href="./move_account_to_ou.html">Moving accounts to an organizational unit (OU) or between the root and OUs with AWS Organizations</a>.</p>

        <p><b>Policies attached to the root immediately
            apply</b></p>

        <p>If you have any policies attached to the root, those policies immediately apply to all
            users and roles in the created account.</p>

        <p>If you have <a href="./orgs_integrate_services_list.html">enabled service trust for
                another AWS service</a> for your organization, that trusted service can create
            service-linked roles or perform actions in any member account in the organization,
            including your created account.</p>

        <p><b>Member accounts must opt in to receive marketing emails</b></p>

        <p>Member accounts that you create as part of an organization are not automatically
            subscribed to AWS marketing emails. To opt-in your accounts to receive marketing
            emails, see <a href="https://pages.awscloud.com/communication-preferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>https://pages.awscloud.com/communication-preferences</span><awsui-icon class="awsdocs-link-icon" name="external"></awsui-icon></a>.</p>

        <p><b>Member accounts for organizations managed by AWS Control Tower should be created in
                AWS Control Tower</b></p>

        <p>If your organization is managed by AWS Control Tower, we recommend that you create your
            member accounts using the AWS Control Tower account factory in the AWS Control Tower console or using the
            AWS Control Tower APIs.</p>

        <p>If you create an member account in Organizations when the organization is managed by AWS Control Tower,
            the account won't be enrolled with AWS Control Tower. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/external-resources.html#ungoverned-resources">Referring to Resources Outside of AWS Control Tower</a> in the <em>AWS Control Tower User
                Guide</em>.</p>
     
        <h2 id="orgs_manage_accounts_create-new">Create a member account</h2>
        <p>After you sign in to the organization's management account, you can create member
            accounts that are part of your organization.</p>

        <p>When you create an account using the following procedure, AWS Organizations automatically
            copies the following <b>Primary contact</b> information from the
            management account to the new member account:</p>
        <div class="itemizedlist">

            </li></ul></div>

        <p>Organizations also copies the communication language and Marketplace information (vendor of the
            account in some AWS Regions) from the management account.</p>

                            that you use the default name across all of your accounts for

The member account is configured with the name Production Account and the email address of susan@example.com.

Also, the setting that allows IAM users or roles with sufficient permissions to access account billing data is set to the default value of ALLOW because the IamUserAccessToBilling parameter is not specified.
