Today, we are making it easier for Amazon Organizations customers to centrally manage the primary account email address of member accounts across their Organization using the Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI), Amazon Software Development Kit (SDK), and Amazon Organizations console. We previously released the Accounts SDK that enables Organizations customers to centrally and programmatically manage both primary and alternate contact information. In order to manage the primary email address of member accounts, customers were forced to contact Customer Support. Starting today, customers can use the same SDK to update the primary email address of a member account from either the Organization’s management account (or delegated administrator), allowing them to manage their Organization’s primary addresses at scale. Additionally, this API will require customers to verify the new primary email address using One Time Password (OTP) ensuring customers are using accurate email addresses for their member accounts. The primary email address won’t change to the new email address until it has been verified.
The ability to update the primary email address of member accounts from an Organization’s management account is available at no additional charge in all commercial Amazon Web Services Regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more about account management, see the documentation.
