CreateMembers

Creates member accounts of the current AWS account by specifying a list of AWS account IDs. This step is a prerequisite for managing the associated member accounts either by invitation or through an organization.

When using Create Members as an organizations delegated administrator this action will enable GuardDuty in the added member accounts, with the exception of the organization master account, which must enable GuardDuty prior to being added as a member.

If you are adding accounts by invitation use this action after GuardDuty has been enabled in potential member accounts and before using Invite Members .
