The CloseAccount API for AWS Organizations enables you to close member accounts within an organization programmatically, without having to log in to the account with root credentials. The RemoveAccountFromOrganization API pulls an account out from an organization in AWS Organizations, so it becomes a standalone account.
These APIs potentially increase the number of operators who can close or remove an AWS account. All users who have access to the organization through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) in the AWS Organizations management account can call these APIs, so access isn’t limited to the owner of the account's root email with any associated multi-factor authentication (MFA) device.
