Delegating an administrator account

You can delegate a member account in your organization as an administrator for Cost Optimization Hub. Delegating an administrator removes the need for you to use the management account to access and manage Cost Optimization Hub on behalf of the organization. This also enables you to adopt an AWS security best-practice, which recommends that you delegate responsibilities outside of the management account where possible.

A delegated administrator can perform most Cost Optimization Hub actions, including getting recommendations and setting preferences, without the need to access the management account. However, the delegated administrator cannot change the opt-in status of the management account.

The management account controls the delegated administrator option for its organization. Each organization can only have one delegated administrator for Cost Optimization Hub at a time.
