Introduction to AWS Accounts

There are 3 types of AWS accounts roles in this solution.

  • The Main AWS account. This is the account that this solution is running in.
  • The Master AWS account. This (optional) account can be the same as the Main AWS account or a different one. It hosts AWS Organizations, needed if the AWS account creation functionality is required.
  • The Member (or researcher) account(s). These accounts are where researcher analytics are run. These accounts are either member accounts in the organization ('created' accounts) or standalone accounts ('invited' accounts).
