User permissions

After the Master User creates the organization, they can create an IAM user with the same level of permissions. This IAM user can then be used to create other IAM users and delegate their permissions. For more information, see the Identity & Access Management (IAM) Administration Guide.

This role applies to the organization. There are different types of accounts:

  • Root Account: The account that created the organization.
  • Member Account: Accounts invited to organization with no administrative privileges
User Type Under each account is a different type of user: Master User, IAM User , and IDP role.

Permissions

Each user type has permissions:

Master User:

  • Owns the Root Account for the Organization.
