Using Amazon S3 Storage Lens with Amazon Organizations

Amazon S3 Storage Lens is a cloud-storage analytics feature that you can use to gain organization-wide visibility into object-storage usage and activity. You can use S3 Storage Lens metrics to generate summary insights, such as finding out how much storage you have across your entire organization or which are the fastest-growing buckets and prefixes. You can also use Amazon S3 Storage Lens to collect storage metrics and usage data for all Amazon Web Services accounts that are part of your Amazon Organizations hierarchy. To do this, you must be using Amazon Organizations, and you must enable S3 Storage Lens trusted access by using your Amazon Organizations management account.

After enabling trusted access, add delegated administrator access to accounts in your organization. The delegated administrator accounts are used to create S3 Storage Lens configurations and dashboards that collect organization-wide storage metrics and user data. For more information about enabling trusted access, see Amazon S3 Storage Lens and Amazon Organizations in the Amazon Organizations User Guide.
