AWS Skill Builder subscription on behalf of another user on the same account

1

My company has approved my obtaining a full year individual subscription to AWS Skill Builder. How does the person with access to the root account purchase a subscription so that I can use it, rather than they?

The person approving the request has access to the root user and I am a regular user under the same account.

Individual subscriptions cannot be used by more than one person.
You must purchase individual subscriptions for the number of people or team subscriptions.

  • That doesn't quite answer the question. We only want one individual subscription to be used for exactly one person. I cannot purchase it directly because I don't own the root account. The person with the root account is not the person who needs to actually use the subscription. A team subscription isn't appropriate here since we have less than 50 team members. The instructions on the site say:

    • Want to train fewer than 50 employees? Check out our Individual subscription or free digital training.
  • Sorry. Please purchase as root user as it is not possible to purchase as IAM user. Once purchased, a purchase history email will be sent to the root user's email address and can be used once received.

  • Once an individual learning subscription is purchased by the root user, can a single IAM user then use the subscription? This is problematic if I now need to use the root user's account to access my subscription. My company is an AWS partner and I have my employee account under that partnership.

There is a minimum 5 user subscription - if there are fewer than 5 users, AWS instructs you to use an individual subscription to your account, which is not tied directly to your organization. You then need to have your company reimburse you for training expenses.
