Creates an AWS account that is automatically a member of the organization whose credentials made the request. This is an asynchronous request that AWS performs in the background. Because CreateAccount operates asynchronously, it can return a successful completion message even though account initialization might still be in progress. You might need to wait a few minutes before you can successfully access the account. To check the status of the request, do one of the following:
Use the Id value of the CreateAccountStatus response element from this operation to provide as a parameter to the DescribeCreateAccountStatus operation.
Check the CloudTrail log for the CreateAccountResult event. For information on using CloudTrail with AWS Organizations, see Logging and monitoring in AWS Organizations in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
The user who calls the API to create an account must have the organizations:CreateAccount permission. If you enabled all features in the organization, AWS Organizations creates the required service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations. For more information, see AWS Organizations and service-linked roles in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
If the request includes tags, then the requester must have the organizations:TagResource permission.
AWS Organizations preconfigures the new member account with a role (named OrganizationAccountAccessRole by default) that grants users in the management account administrator permissions in the new member account. Principals in the management account can assume the role. AWS Organizations clones the company name and address information for the new account from the organization's management account.
This operation can be called only from the organization's management account.
For more information about creating accounts, see Creating a member account in your organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
ImportantWhen you create an account in an organization using the AWS Organizations console, API, or AWS CLI commands, the information required for the account to operate as a standalone account, such as a payment method is not automatically collected. If you must remove an account from your organization later, you can do so only after you provide the missing information. For more information, see Considerations before removing an account from an organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
If you get an exception that indicates that you exceeded your account limits for the organization, contact AWS Support.
If you get an exception that indicates that the operation failed because your organization is still initializing, wait one hour and then try again. If the error persists, contact AWS Support.
It isn't recommended to use CreateAccount to create multiple temporary accounts, and using the CreateAccount API to close accounts is subject to a 30-day usage quota. For information on the requirements and process for closing an account, see Closing a member account in your organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
When you create a member account with this operation, you can choose whether to create the account with the IAM User and Role Access to Billing Information switch enabled. If you enable it, IAM users and roles that have appropriate permissions can view billing information for the account. If you disable it, only the account root user can access billing information. For information about how to disable this switch for an account, see Granting access to your billing information and tools.

Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 50.
Pattern: [\u0020-\u007E]+
Required: Yes
The email address of the owner to assign to the new member account. This email address must not already be associated with another AWS account. You must use a valid email address to complete account creation.
The rules for a valid email address:
The address must be a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 64 characters long.
All characters must be 7-bit ASCII characters.
There must be one and only one @ symbol, which separates the local name from the domain name.
The local name can't contain any of the following characters:

The domain name must contain at least one dot
You can't access the root user of the account or remove an account that was created with an invalid email address.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 6. Maximum length of 64.
Pattern: See rules in parameter description
Required: Yes
If set to ALLOW, the new account enables IAM users to access account billing information if they have the required permissions. If set to DENY, only the root user of the new account can access account billing information. For more information, see About IAM access to the Billing and Cost Management console in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
If you don't specify this parameter, the value defaults to ALLOW, and IAM users and roles with the required permissions can access billing information for the new account.
Type: String
Valid Values: ALLOW | DENY
Required: No
The name of an IAM role that AWS Organizations automatically preconfigures in the new member account. This role trusts the management account, allowing users in the management account to assume the role, as permitted by the management account administrator. The role has administrator permissions in the new member account.
If you don't specify this parameter, the role name defaults to OrganizationAccountAccessRole.
For more information about how to use this role to access the member account, see the following links:
The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter. The pattern can include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits with no spaces, and any of the following characters: =,.@-
Type: String
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 64.

A list of tags that you want to attach to the newly created account. For each tag in the list, you must specify both a tag key and a value. You can set the value to an empty string, but you can't set it to null. For more information about tagging, see Tagging AWS Organizations resources in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
If any one of the tags is not valid or if you exceed the maximum allowed number of tags for an account, then the entire request fails and the account is not created.
Type: Array of Tag objects
Required: No

}If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.
The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.
A structure that contains details about the request to create an account. This response structure might not be fully populated when you first receive it because account creation is an asynchronous process. You can pass the returned CreateAccountStatus ID as a parameter to DescribeCreateAccountStatus to get status about the progress of the request at later times. You can also check the CloudTrail log for the CreateAccountResult event. For more information, see Logging and monitoring in AWS Organizations in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
Type: CreateAccountStatus object
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.
You don't have permissions to perform the requested operation. The user or role that is making the request must have at least one IAM permissions policy attached that grants the required permissions. For more information, see Access Management in the IAM User Guide.

The following example shows how to create a member account in an organization. The member account is configured with the name Production Account and the email address of anaya@example.com. AWS Organizations automatically creates an IAM role using the default name of OrganizationAccountAccessRole because the roleName parameter isn't specified. Also, the setting that allows IAM users or roles with sufficient permissions to access account billing data is set to the default value of ALLOW because the IamUserAccessToBilling parameter isn't specified. AWS Organizations automatically sends Anaya a "Welcome to AWS" email.
