To use Firewall Manager, your account must be a member of the organization in the Amazon Organizations service where you want to use your Firewall Manager policies. 

**Note**  
For information about Organizations, see [Amazon Organizations User Guide](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_introduction.html). 

**To establish the required Amazon Organizations membership and configuration**

1. Choose an account to use as the Firewall Manager administrator for the organization in Organizations. 

1. If your chosen account isn't already a member of the organization, have it join. Follow the guidance at [Inviting an Amazon Web Services account to join your organization](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_accounts_invites.html).
