Cannot add permissions in IAM Identity Center

Question

I am trying to follow the instructions in the [guide ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/quick-start-default-idc.html) in order to configure access through IAM Identity Center of an admin user. I have created the corresponding user and group as instructed, however in the part where I have to add administrative permissions, I cannot find the Multi-account permissions in the navigation pane. Could this be due to the fact that I cannot enable access to the IAM Identity Center enabled applications? As every time I try to enable it, I get an error saying:
```
Sharing feature is not supported for an account level instance with id ssoins-7223decfb79b7ca3
```

Hello.

I think your prediction is probably correct.  
There are several features that are not available in IAM Identity Center on standalone AWS account instances.  
I think you need to use an AWS Organizations managed account instance to set up multi-account permissions.

I came across this issue too. To solve it you must first delete your IAM Identity Center (IAM Identity Center > Settings > Management). Then, create an organization (AWS Organizations service). With the organization created, you can re-enable the IAM Identity Center and the Multi-account permissions will appear.

If you do this out of order like I did the first time, you will have to delete your organization and then delete the IAM Identity Center service. When I created an organization after creating the IAM Identity Center service, I was no longer able to access the IAM Identity Center. It kept telling me that I needed to enable it but then errored out every time I tried to re-enable...
