# CreateGraph
<a name="API_CreateGraph"></a>

Creates a new behavior graph for the calling account, and sets that account as the administrator account. This operation is called by the account that is enabling Detective.

The operation also enables Detective for the calling account in the currently selected Region. It returns the ARN of the new behavior graph.

 `CreateGraph` triggers a process to create the corresponding data tables for the new behavior graph.

An account can only be the administrator account for one behavior graph within a Region. If the same account calls `CreateGraph` with the same administrator account, it always returns the same behavior graph ARN. It does not create a new behavior graph.
