Delegating an administrator account

You can delegate a member account in your organization as an administrator for Compute Optimizer. A delegated administrator can access and manage Compute Optimizer recommendations. A delegated administrator can also set recommendation preferences for your entire organization without the need to access the management account. The management account controls the delegated administrator option for its organization. Each organization can only have one delegated administrator for Compute Optimizer at a time.

The delegated administrator can get and export recommendations, set recommendation preferences, set member account opt-in status, and get projected utilization metrics.
