EC2 and other service instances not showing up

Question

I created an Organization in AWS and invited users to the organization, which was as per what I wanted to do.

As part of this question I wanted to make sure I did this correct:.
1. One of the invited users went ahead and created an S3 bucket, a VPC and an EC2 instance - because i see that in the billing part, however when i login as root or as an IAM user - I am unable to see the instances. I want to have a simple setup where all users in the organization have access to view/edit the current instances. We may lock it down later where only read permissions would be there for some users. Delete permissions would not be there.
2. When the invitees accepted the invite - I still dont see them as users in the org - which is strange.
3. If there is a guide on how to setup the organization and associate users to the org, so that we can set it up right would be great.

Thanks!

`I am unable to see the instances` - make sure you are checking the correct AWS Region

`I still dont see them as users in the org` - make sure you are checking the correct AWS account

using SSO for users to get access to your AWS accounts is the best practice. You can manage users/groups and permissions for all accounts from a single place

The default EC@ console only shows resources in the current region. On the AWS console I would recommend navisate to the "EC2" page" and click on "EC2 Global View" . Its typically on the elft corner 2nd from the top. For my USA based account the direct link is https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2globalview/home

This will give youa. global view of all the VPCs and EC2s
