Add a CloudTrail delegated administrator

You can add a delegated administrator to manage an organization's CloudTrail resources, such as trails and event data stores.

Before you add a delegated administrator, be sure they have an account in your organization and you are signed in with the management account for your organization. For information about how to create a new AWS account for your organization, see Creating an AWS account in your organization.
