I am trying to role switch to member account of the anization using my AWS management account. But the role switch option not present as shown in screen shot below.

As you can see this is my management account.

I have created the Role in other account to grant access to the management account.

• 2 That's interesting -- the option appears in my AWS Account. It also shows my IAM User name. Did you login with your Root credentials? If so, can you try as an IAM User instead? It is not recommended to use Root Credentials on a daily basis. – John Rotenstein Commented Feb 13 at 21:13

It appears that the Switch Role capability of the AWS Management Console does not appear when logged-in as the Root user.

Logging in as an IAM User will cause it to appear. Sufficient permissions will be required on the IAM User to assume the desired roles.
