AWS Control Tower now supports single-step account provisioning

Posted on: Mar 2, 2020

AWS Control Tower now supports single-step account provisioning through the Control Tower console. This feature allows master account administrators to provision new accounts from within the Control Tower console.  

To use the simplified form, navigate to the Account Factory link in the Control Tower console and then select the Quick account provisioning link. Quick account provisioning in AWS Control Tower assigns the same email address to the provisioned account and to the SSO user that is created for the account. If you require these two email addresses to be different, you must provision your account through AWS Service Catalog.

Accounts that you create through quick account provisioning must be updated by means of the AWS Service Catalog and the AWS Control Tower account factory, as you would update any other account. 

Please let us know what you think about this feature via the feedback button in the Control Tower console footer.
