Enabling trusted access for Amazon Account Management
Enabling trusted access for Amazon Account Management allows the administrator of the management account to modify the information and metadata (for example, primary or alternate contact details) specific to each member account in Amazon Organizations. For more information, see Amazon Account Management and Amazon Organizations in the Amazon Organizations User Guide. For general information about how trusted access works, see Using Amazon Organizations with other Amazon services.
After trusted access has been enabled, you can use the accountID parameter in
those Account Management API operations that support it. You can
use this parameter successfully only if you call the operation using credentials from the
management account, or from the delegated admin account for your organization if you enable
one. For more information, see Enabling a delegated admin account for
Amazon Account Management.
