create_members

create_members(**kwargs)

Creates member accounts of the current Amazon Web Services account by specifying a list of Amazon Web Services account IDs. This step is a prerequisite for managing the associated member accounts either by invitation or through an organization.

When using Create Members as an organizations delegated administrator this action will enable GuardDuty in the added member accounts, with the exception of the organization delegated administrator account, which must enable GuardDuty prior to being added as a member.

If you are adding accounts by invitation, use this action after GuardDuty has bee enabled in potential member accounts and before using InviteMembers.
