InviteMembers

Invites AWS accounts to become members of an organization administered by the AWS account that invokes this API. If you are using AWS Organizations to manage your GuardDuty environment, this step is not needed. For more information, see Managing accounts with organizations.

To invite AWS accounts, the first step is to ensure that GuardDuty has been enabled in the potential member accounts. You can now invoke this API to add accounts by invitation. The invited accounts can either accept or decline the invitation from their GuardDuty accounts. Each invited AWS account can choose to accept the invitation from only one AWS account. For more information, see Managing GuardDuty accounts by invitation.

After the invite has been accepted and you choose to disassociate a member account (by using DisassociateMembers) from your account, the details of the member account obtained by invoking CreateMembers, including the associated email addresses, will be retained. This is done so that you can invoke InviteMembers without the need to invoke CreateMembers again. To remove the details associated with a member account, you must also invoke DeleteMembers.
