Today, we are introducing a new account management API that enables customers to update the account name via authorized IAM principals and more efficiently manage account names. This new API is added to the Amazon Account Management APIs that enable Amazon Organizations customers to centrally and programmatically manage primary email addresses, primary contact information, alternate contact information, and Amazon Web Services Regions for their accounts. Using the new API, customers can now update their account names via authorized IAM principals within the account. Additionally, customers using Amazon Organizations in all-features mode can now update member account names via authorized IAM principals in the management and delegated admin accounts, providing a centralized and secure way to manage account names across their organization at scale. Customers can also use the new API via the Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI) and Amazon Software Development Kit (SDK) to update account names.
The ability to manage account names via authorized IAM principals is available at no additional charge in all the 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 get started managing your account names via IAM principals, see the documentation.
