Move an account

Alibaba Cloud Identity as a Service (IDaaS) allows you to move an account from an organization to another.

Organizations of an account can be classified into the following types:

1. Primary organization: the primary organization to which the account belongs.

2. Secondary organization: the secondary organization to which the account belongs.

Generally, the primary organization indicates the position of an account in the organizational structure of an enterprise, and the secondary organizations are used to specify multiple parent organizations for an account.

An account inherits the permissions of its parent organizations. The parent organizations include the primary organization and secondary organizations. The primary organization and secondary organizations have no distinction in business logic in IDaaS.

Specify multiple organizations when you create an account

When you create an account, the current organization is specified as the primary organization of the account by default. The primary organization cannot be changed.

If you want to change the primary organization, select another organization before you create the account. Alternatively, you can move the account from the primary organization to another after the account is created.

You can specify multiple secondary organizations for the account.

Move an account

After an account is created, you can move the account from the current primary organization to another and edit the secondary organizations of the account.

In the Move User panel, change the primary organization of the account or manage the secondary organizations of the account.
