How it works...
While this is a very simple recipe, it's the first thing you must do before you can use any of the useful features of AWS Organizations.
Here you can see a high-level diagram of the relationships between master accounts, members, and organizational units (OUs):
We deliberately enable all the features of organizations. The consolidated billing option is available for backward compatibility—before organizations, consolidated billing was your only option to link accounts.
Do not use your master account for day-to-day tasks. Since it is so important, it doesn't make sense to risk using it and/or having access keys for it. If your master account was to become compromised somehow, it would impact all of your member accounts. Just don't do it.
The master account will always have a star next to its name.
