Enable a resource directory by calling InitResourceDirectory - Resource Management - Alibaba Cloud - Resource Management

Calls InitResourceDirectory to enable a resource directory. After you enable a resource directory, the system creates a Root folder and sets the current account as the management account. The management account has all permissions to manage the resource directory.

Operation description

Note

Use an account that has passed enterprise real-name verification to enable a resource directory. An account that has passed only individual real-name verification cannot enable a resource directory.
Use the management account only as the administrator of the resource directory. Do not purchase cloud service resources under the management account.
