## Setting Up an Aggregator (AWS CLI)

* **Note**\
  Ensure that the management account registers a delegated administrator with both of the following AWS Config service principal names (`config.amazonaws.com` and`config-multiaccountsetup.amazonaws.com`) before the delegated administrator creates an aggregator. To register a delegated administrator, see [Register a Delegated Administrator](#register-a-delegated-administrator-cli).
* **Note**\
  Copy the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) from this IAM role for use when you create your AWS Config aggregator. You can find the ARNallows on the response object.

## Authorizing Aggregator Accounts (Console)

* **Note**\
  **Authorization approval period**\
  Authorization approval is required to add source accounts to an individual account aggregator. A pending authorization approval request will be available for 7 days after an individual account aggregator adds a source account.
