<a name="create-afc-customized-account"></a>

After you have created custom blueprints, you can start creating custom accounts in AWS Control Tower account factory. 

**Follow these steps to deploy a custom blueprint when you're creating a new AWS account:**

1. Go to AWS Control Tower in the AWS Management Console. 

1. Select **Account factory** and **Create account**.

1. Enter account details such as account name and email address.

1. Configure IAM Identity Center details with email address and user name. 

1. Select a registered OU where your account will be added.

1. Expand the **Account factory customization** section.

1. Enter the account ID of the blueprint hub account that contains your Service Catalog products and choose **Validate**. For more information about a blueprint hub account, see [Customize accounts with Account Factory Customization (AFC)](af-customization-page.md).

1. Select the dropdown menu that contains all blueprints from your Service Catalog Product List (all custom and partner blueprints). Choose a blueprint and corresponding version to deploy. 

1. If your blueprint contains parameters, these fields are displayed for you to populate. Default values are pre-populated. 

1. Finally, select where you'll deploy your blueprint, either **Home Region** or **All governed Regions**. Global resources such as Route 53 or IAM, may need to be deployed to a single Region only. Regional resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon S3 buckets, could be deployed to all governed Regions

1. After all fields are completed, select **Create account**.

**Note**  
Blueprints created with Terraform can deploy to one Region only, not multiple Regions.

You can view the progress of your account provisioning on the **Organization** page. When your account provisioning is complete, the resources specified by your blueprint are already deployed within it. To view the details of the account and blueprint, go to the **Account details** page.
