Create an AWS Account

When you attempt to create a Member AWS Account, the Main AWS Account will assume a role in the Master AWS Account. Once the role has been assumed, it will then create a Member AWS Account.

Once the Member AWS Account has been created, the Main AWS Account will assume a role in that account and launch a CloudFormation template to build resources (VPC, Subnet, Cross Account Execution Role).

To create a new Member AWS Account, follow these steps:

  1. In the portal navigate to the Accounts page using the menu on the left.
  2. Click the AWS Accounts tab along the top.
  3. Click the Create AWS Account button.
  4. Type a name for the AWS Account in the Account Name field.
  5. Type an email address for the AWS Account in the AWS Account Email field.
  6. Provide the Master Role ARN for the Master AWS Account in the Master Role Arn field.
  7. Type the External ID for the AWS Account in the External ID field.
  8. Type a description for the AWS Account in the Description field.
