# Create OpsItems manually
<a name="OpsCenter-manually-create-OpsItems"></a>

When you find an operational issue, you can manually create an OpsItem from OpsCenter to manage and resolve the issue. 

If you set up OpsCenter for cross-account administration, a Systems Manager delegated administrator or AWS Organizations management account can create OpsItems for member accounts. For more information, see [(Optional) Manually set up OpsCenter to centrally manage OpsItems across accounts](OpsCenter-getting-started-multiple-accounts.md).

You can create OpsItems by using the AWS Systems Manager console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell.
