I am trying to linked account within AWS. But the AWS organisation throws the below error while inviting the user " You cannot add accounts to your organization while it is initializing. Try again later"

  • Has the "user" accepted the invitation to join the organization? How long have you waited after accepting the invitation? How old is your AWS account? – John Hanley Oct 19 '17 at 18:06
  • AWS Organizations is not ready yet for prime time. I think AWS released this service before it was fully baked. The error you see is a very common error. You have to wait and try again or post in AWS forum. – helloV Oct 19 '17 at 18:09
  • @john: Invite itself getting failed. My account is around 1 year old account. – vishnukumar Oct 20 '17 at 05:30
  • I realize it is an old post, but still an issue: See here: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=251290&start=300&tstart=0 – Tonio Liebrand Feb 02 '18 at 09:38

I had this problem. It turned out my credit card on file was expired.

In my case it is fixed itself after some hours. It may be some sort of initialization issue that require some time to complete. You can find more information Here

    In my case it was between 5-10 minutes after enabling Organizations and verifying the email address that I was able to create the first sub-account. – JinnKo Feb 13 '20 at 16:34

Once the AWS Organization is created, you have to accept the AWS Organization Email from the Master Account, prior to sending the invite or creating child account.

This is how I fixed it today: two things we have to check :

  1. Validate your primary email for master account, they sent verification email to your registered email id.

  2. Check your added credit card details(in my case my card was expired so had to add it again, then it worked).
