InviteMembers

Note

We recommend using AWS Organizations instead of Security Hub invitations to manage your member accounts. For information, see Managing Security Hub administrator and member accounts with Organizations in the AWS Security Hub User Guide.

Invites other AWS accounts to become member accounts for the Security Hub administrator account that the invitation is sent from.

This operation is only used to invite accounts that don't belong to an AWS organization. Organization accounts don't receive invitations.

Before you can use this action to invite a member, you must first use the CreateMembers action to create the member account in Security Hub.

When the account owner enables Security Hub and accepts the invitation to become a member account, the administrator account can view the findings generated in the member account.
