Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

Organizations is a web service that enables you to consolidate your multiple Amazon Web Services accounts into an organization and centrally manage your accounts and their resources.

This guide provides descriptions of the Organizations operations. For more information about using this service, see the Organizations User Guide.

Support and feedback for Organizations

We welcome your feedback. Send your comments to feedback-awsorganizations@amazon.com or post your feedback and questions in the Organizations support forum. For more information about the Amazon Web Services support forums, see Forums Help.

Endpoint to call When using the CLI or the Amazon Web Services SDK

For the current release of Organizations, specify the us-east-1 region for all Amazon Web Services API and CLI calls made from the commercial Amazon Web Services Regions outside of China. If calling from one of the Amazon Web Services Regions in China, then specify cn-northwest-1. You can do this in the CLI by using these parameters and commands:

  • Use the following parameter with each command to specify both the endpoint and its region:

    --endpoint-url https://organizations.us-east-1.amazonaws.com (from commercial Amazon Web Services Regions outside of China)

    or

    --endpoint-url https://organizations.cn-northwest-1.amazonaws.com.cn (from Amazon Web Services Regions in China)

  • Use the default endpoint, but configure your default region with this command:

    aws configure set default.region us-east-1 (from commercial Amazon Web Services Regions outside of China)

    or

    aws configure set default.region cn-northwest-1 (from Amazon Web Services Regions in China)

  • Use the following parameter with each command to specify the endpoint:

    --region us-east-1 (from commercial Amazon Web Services Regions outside of China)

    or

    --region cn-northwest-1 (from Amazon Web Services Regions in China)

Recording API Requests

Organizations supports CloudTrail, a service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine which requests the Organizations service received, who made the request and when, and so on. For more about Organizations and its support for CloudTrail, see Logging Organizations API calls with CloudTrail in the Organizations User Guide. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the CloudTrail User Guide.

Sending a Request Using Organizations

var organizations = new AWS.Organizations();
organizations.listPoliciesForTarget(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the Organizations object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var organizations = new AWS.Organizations({apiVersion: '2016-11-28'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the organizations service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  organizations: '2016-11-28',
  // other service API versions
};

var organizations = new AWS.Organizations();

Method Details

acceptHandshake(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Sends a response to the originator of a handshake agreeing to the action proposed by the handshake request.

You can only call this operation by the following principals when they also have the relevant IAM permissions:

  • Invitation to join or Approve all features request handshakes: only a principal from the member account.

    The user who calls the API for an invitation to join must have the organizations:AcceptHandshake permission. If you enabled all features in the organization, the user must also have the iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole permission so that Organizations can create the required service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations. For more information, see Organizations and service-linked roles in the Organizations User Guide.

  • Enable all features final confirmation handshake: only a principal from the management account.

    For more information about invitations, see Inviting an Amazon Web Services account to join your organization in the Organizations User Guide. For more information about requests to enable all features in the organization, see Enabling all features in your organization in the Organizations User Guide.

After you accept a handshake, it continues to appear in the results of relevant APIs for only 30 days. After that, it's deleted.

Calling the acceptHandshake operation

var params = {
  HandshakeId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
organizations.acceptHandshake(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • HandshakeId — (String)

      The unique identifier (ID) of the handshake that you want to accept.

      The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Handshake — (map)

        A structure that contains details about the accepted handshake.

        • Id — (String)

          The unique identifier (ID) of a handshake. The originating account creates the ID when it initiates the handshake.

          The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

        • Arn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a handshake.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.

        • Parties — (Array<map>)

          Information about the two accounts that are participating in the handshake.

          • Idrequired — (String)

            The unique identifier (ID) for the party.

            The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            The type of party.

            Possible values include:
            • "ACCOUNT"
            • "ORGANIZATION"
            • "EMAIL"
        • State — (String)

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

          Possible values include:
          • "REQUESTED"
          • "OPEN"
          • "CANCELED"

          • "EXPIRED"
        • RequestedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake request was made.

        • ExpirationTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake expires. If the recipient of the handshake request fails to respond before the specified date and time, the handshake becomes inactive and is no longer valid.

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

          Possible values include:
          • "INVITE"
          • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
        • Resources — (Array<map>)

          Additional information that is needed to process the handshake.

          • Value — (String)

            The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

          • Type — (String)

            The type of information being passed, specifying how the value is to be interpreted by the other party:

            • ACCOUNT - Specifies an Amazon Web Services account ID number.

            • ORGANIZATION - Specifies an organization ID number.

            • EMAIL - Specifies the email address that is associated with the account that receives the handshake.

            • OWNER_EMAIL - Specifies the email address associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • OWNER_NAME - Specifies the name associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • NOTES - Additional text provided by the handshake initiator and intended for the recipient to read.

            Possible values include:
            • "ACCOUNT"

cancelHandshake(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Cancels a handshake. Canceling a handshake sets the handshake state to CANCELED.

This operation can be called only from the account that originated the handshake. The recipient of the handshake can't cancel it, but can use DeclineHandshake instead. After a handshake is canceled, the recipient can no longer respond to that handshake.

After you cancel a handshake, it continues to appear in the results of relevant APIs for only 30 days. After that, it's deleted.

Calling the cancelHandshake operation

var params = {
  HandshakeId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
organizations.cancelHandshake(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • HandshakeId — (String)

      The unique identifier (ID) of the handshake that you want to cancel. You can get the ID from the ListHandshakesForOrganization operation.

      The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Handshake — (map)

        A structure that contains details about the handshake that you canceled.

        • Id — (String)

          The unique identifier (ID) of a handshake. The originating account creates the ID when it initiates the handshake.

          The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

        • Arn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a handshake.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.

        • Parties — (Array<map>)

          Information about the two accounts that are participating in the handshake.

          • Idrequired — (String)

            The unique identifier (ID) for the party.

            The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            The type of party.

            Possible values include:
            • "ACCOUNT"
            • "ORGANIZATION"
            • "EMAIL"
        • State — (String)

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

          Possible values include:
          • "REQUESTED"
          • "OPEN"
          • "CANCELED"

          • "EXPIRED"
        • RequestedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake request was made.

        • ExpirationTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake expires. If the recipient of the handshake request fails to respond before the specified date and time, the handshake becomes inactive and is no longer valid.

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

          • "INVITE"
          • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
        • Resources — (Array<map>)

          Additional information that is needed to process the handshake.

          • Value — (String)

            The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

          • Type — (String)

            The type of information being passed, specifying how the value is to be interpreted by the other party:

            • ACCOUNT - Specifies an Amazon Web Services account ID number.

            • ORGANIZATION - Specifies an organization ID number.

            • EMAIL - Specifies the email address that is associated with the account that receives the handshake.

            • OWNER_EMAIL - Specifies the email address associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • OWNER_NAME - Specifies the name associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • NOTES - Additional text provided by the handshake initiator and intended for the recipient to read.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

closeAccount(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Closes an Amazon Web Services member account within an organization. You can close an account when all features are enabled . You can't close the management account with this API. This is an asynchronous request that Amazon Web Services performs in the background. Because CloseAccount operates asynchronously, it can return a successful completion message even though account closure might still be in progress. You need to wait a few minutes before the account is fully closed. To check the status of the request, do one of the following:

  • Use the AccountId that you sent in the CloseAccount request to provide as a parameter to the DescribeAccount operation.

    While the close account request is in progress, Account status will indicate PENDING_CLOSURE. When the close account request completes, the status will change to SUSPENDED.

  • Check the CloudTrail log for the CloseAccountResult event that gets published after the account closes successfully. For information on using CloudTrail with Organizations, see Logging and monitoring in Organizations in the Organizations User Guide.

Note:
  • You can close only 10% of member accounts, between 10 and 1000, within a rolling 30 day period. This quota is not bound by a calendar month, but starts when you close an account. After you reach this limit, you can close additional accounts. For more information, see Closing a member account in your organization and Quotas for Organizationsin the Organizations User Guide.
  • To reinstate a closed account, contact Amazon Web Services Support within the 90-day grace period while the account is in SUSPENDED status.
  • If the Amazon Web Services account you attempt to close is linked to an Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account, the CloseAccount request will close both accounts. To learn important pre-closure details, see Closing an Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud User Guide.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the closeAccount operation

var params = {
  AccountId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
organizations.closeAccount(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • AccountId — (String)

      Retrieves the Amazon Web Services account Id for the current CloseAccount API request.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createAccount(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates an Amazon Web Services account that is automatically a member of the organization whose credentials made the request. This is an asynchronous request that Amazon Web Services performs in the background. Because CreateAccount operates asynchronously, it can return a successful completion message even though account initialization might still be in progress. You might need to wait a few minutes before you can successfully access the account. To check the status of the request, do one of the following:

  • Use the Id value of the CreateAccountStatus response element from this operation to provide as a parameter to the DescribeCreateAccountStatus operation.

  • Check the CloudTrail log for the CreateAccountResult event. For information on using CloudTrail with Organizations, see Logging and monitoring in Organizations in the Organizations User Guide.

The user who calls the API to create an account must have the organizations:CreateAccount permission. If you enabled all features in the organization, Organizations creates the required service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations. For more information, see Organizations and service-linked roles in the Organizations User Guide.

If the request includes tags, then the requester must have the organizations:TagResource permission.

Organizations preconfigures the new member account with a role (named OrganizationAccountAccessRole by default) that grants users in the management account administrator permissions in the new member account. Principals in the management account can assume the role. Organizations clones the company name and address information for the new account from the organization's management account.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account.

For more information about creating accounts, see Creating a member account in your organization in the Organizations User Guide.

  • When you create an account in an organization using the Organizations console, API, or CLI commands, the information required for the account to operate as a standalone account, such as a payment method and signing the end user license agreement (EULA) is not automatically collected. If you must remove an account from your organization later, you can do so only after you provide the missing information. For more information, see Considerations before removing an account from an organization in the Organizations User Guide.

  • If you get an exception that indicates that you exceeded your account limits for the organization, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

  • If you get an exception that indicates that the operation failed because your organization is still initializing, wait one hour and then try again. If the error persists, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

  • Using CreateAccount to create multiple temporary accounts isn't recommended. You can only close an account from the Billing and Cost Management console, and you must be signed in as the root user. For information on the requirements and process for closing an account, see Closing a member account in your organization in the Organizations User Guide.

Note: When you create a member account with this operation, you can choose whether to create the account with the IAM User and Role Access to Billing Information switch enabled. If you enable it, IAM users and roles that have appropriate permissions can view billing information for the account. If you disable it, only the account root user can access billing information. For information about how to disable this switch for an account, see Granting access to your billing information and tools.

    • Tags — (Array<map>)

      A list of tags that you want to attach to the newly created account. For each tag in the list, you must specify both a tag key and a value. You can set the value to an empty string, but you can't set it to null. For more information about tagging, see Tagging Organizations resources in the Organizations User Guide.

      Note: If any one of the tags is not valid or if you exceed the maximum allowed number of tags for an account, then the entire request fails and the account is not created.
      • Keyrequired — (String)

        The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

      • Valuerequired — (String)

        The string value that's associated with the key of the tag. You can set the value of a tag to an empty string, but you can't set the value of a tag to null.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createGovCloudAccount(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

This action is available if all of the following are true:

  • You're authorized to create accounts in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region. For more information on the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region, see the Amazon Web Services GovCloud User Guide.

  • You already have an account in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region that is paired with a management account of an organization in the commercial Region.

  • You call this action from the management account of your organization in the commercial Region.

  • You have the organizations:CreateGovCloudAccount permission.

Organizations automatically creates the required service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations. For more information, see Organizations and service-linked roles in the Organizations User Guide.

Amazon Web Services automatically enables CloudTrail for Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) accounts, but you should also do the following:

  • Verify that CloudTrail is enabled to store logs.

  • Create an Amazon S3 bucket for CloudTrail log storage.

    For more information, see Verifying CloudTrail Is Enabled in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud User Guide.

If the request includes tags, then the requester must have the organizations:TagResource permission. The tags are attached to the commercial account associated with the GovCloud account, rather than the GovCloud account itself. To add tags to the GovCloud account, call the TagResource operation in the GovCloud Region after the new GovCloud account exists.

You call this action from the management account of your organization in the commercial Region to create a standalone Amazon Web Services account in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region. After the account is created, the management account of an organization in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region can invite it to that organization. For more information on inviting standalone accounts in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) to join an organization, see Organizations in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud User Guide.

Calling CreateGovCloudAccount is an asynchronous request that Amazon Web Services performs in the background. Because CreateGovCloudAccount operates asynchronously, it can return a successful completion message even though account initialization might still be in progress. You might need to wait a few minutes before you can successfully access the account. To check the status of the request, do one of the following:

When you call the CreateGovCloudAccount action, you create two accounts: a standalone account in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region and an associated account in the commercial Region for billing and support purposes. The account in the commercial Region is automatically a member of the organization whose credentials made the request. Both accounts are associated with the same email address.

A role is created in the new account in the commercial Region that allows the management account in the organization in the commercial Region to assume it. An Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account is then created and associated with the commercial account that you just created. A role is also created in the new Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account that can be assumed by the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account that is associated with the management account of the commercial organization. For more information and to view a diagram that explains how account access works, see Organizations in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud User Guide.

For more information about creating accounts, see Creating a member account in your organization in the Organizations User Guide.

  • When you create an account in an organization using the Organizations console, API, or CLI commands, the information required for the account to operate as a standalone account is not automatically collected. This includes a payment method and signing the end user license agreement (EULA). If you must remove an account from your organization later, you can do so only after you provide the missing information. For more information, see Considerations before removing an account from an organization in the Organizations User Guide.

  • If you get an exception that indicates that you exceeded your account limits for the organization, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

  • If you get an exception that indicates that the operation failed because your organization is still initializing, wait one hour and then try again. If the error persists, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

  • Using CreateGovCloudAccount to create multiple temporary accounts isn't recommended. You can only close an account from the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management console, and you must be signed in as the root user. For information on the requirements and process for closing an account, see Closing a member account in your organization in the Organizations User Guide.

Note: When you create a member account with this operation, you can choose whether to create the account with the IAM User and Role Access to Billing Information switch enabled. If you enable it, IAM users and roles that have appropriate permissions can view billing information for the account. If you disable it, only the account root user can access billing information.

  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Email — (String)

      Specifies the email address of the owner to assign to the new member account in the commercial Region. This email address must not already be associated with another Amazon Web Services account. You must use a valid email address to complete account creation.

      The rules for a valid email address:

      • The address must be a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 64 characters long.

      • All characters must be 7-bit ASCII characters.

      • There must be one and only one @ symbol, which separates the local name from the domain name.

      • The local name can't contain any of the following characters:

        whitespace, " ' ( ) < > [ ] : ; , \ | % &

      • The local name can't begin with a dot (.)

      • The domain name can consist of only the characters [a-z],[A-Z],[0-9], hyphen (-), or dot (.)

      • The domain name can't begin or end with a hyphen (-) or dot (.)

      • The domain name must contain at least one dot

      You can't access the root user of the account or remove an account that was created with an invalid email address. Like all request parameters for CreateGovCloudAccount, the request for the email address for the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account originates from the commercial Region, not from the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region.

    • AccountName — (String)

      The friendly name of the member account.

      The account name can consist of only the characters [a-z],[A-Z],[0-9], hyphen (-), or dot (.) You can't separate characters with a dash (–).

    • RoleName — (String)

      (Optional)

      The name of an IAM role that Organizations automatically preconfigures in the new member accounts in both the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region and in the commercial Region. This role trusts the management account, allowing users in the management account to assume the role, as permitted by the management account administrator. The role has administrator permissions in the new member account.

      If you don't specify this parameter, the role name defaults to OrganizationAccountAccessRole.

      For more information about how to use this role to access the member account, see the following links:

      The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter. The pattern can include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits with no spaces, and any of the following characters: =,.@-

    • IamUserAccessToBilling — (String)

      If set to ALLOW, the new linked account in the commercial Region enables IAM users to access account billing information if they have the required permissions. If set to DENY, only the root user of the new account can access account billing information. For more information, see About IAM access to the Billing and Cost Management console in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

      If you don't specify this parameter, the value defaults to ALLOW, and IAM users and roles with the required permissions can access billing information for the new account.

      Possible values include:
      • "ALLOW"
      • "DENY"
    • Tags — (Array<map>)

      A list of tags that you want to attach to the newly created account. These tags are attached to the commercial account associated with the GovCloud account, and not to the GovCloud account itself. To add tags to the actual GovCloud account, call the TagResource operation in the GovCloud region after the new GovCloud account exists.

      For each tag in the list, you must specify both a tag key and a value. You can set the value to an empty string, but you can't set it to null. For more information about tagging, see Tagging Organizations resources in the Organizations User Guide.

      Note: If any one of the tags is not valid or if you exceed the maximum allowed number of tags for an account, then the entire request fails and the account is not created.
      • Keyrequired — (String)

        The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

      • Valuerequired — (String)

        The string value that's associated with the key of the tag. You can set the value of a tag to an empty string, but you can't set the value of a tag to null.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

createOrganization(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates an Amazon Web Services organization. The account whose user is calling the CreateOrganization operation automatically becomes the management account of the new organization.

This operation must be called using credentials from the account that is to become the new organization's management account. The principal must also have the relevant IAM permissions.

By default (or if you set the FeatureSet parameter to ALL), the new organization is created with all features enabled and service control policies automatically enabled in the root. If you instead choose to create the organization supporting only the consolidated billing features by setting the FeatureSet parameter to CONSOLIDATED_BILLING, no policy types are enabled by default and you can't use organization policies.

Service Reference:

Examples:

To create a new organization with all features enabled


/* Bill wants to create an organization using credentials from account 111111111111. The following example shows that the account becomes the master account in the new organization. Because he does not specify a feature set, the new organization defaults to all features enabled and service control policies enabled on the root:

*/

 var params = {
 };
 organizations.createOrganization(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response

declineHandshake(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Declines a handshake request. This sets the handshake state to DECLINED and effectively deactivates the request.

This operation can be called only from the account that received the handshake. The originator of the handshake can use CancelHandshake instead. The originator can't reactivate a declined request, but can reinitiate the process with a new handshake request.

After you decline a handshake, it continues to appear in the results of relevant APIs for only 30 days. After that, it's deleted.

Service Reference:

Examples:

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • HandshakeId — (String)

      The unique identifier (ID) of the handshake that you want to decline. You can get the ID from the ListHandshakesForAccount operation.

      The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

        • Id — (String)

          The unique identifier (ID) of a handshake. The originating account creates the ID when it initiates the handshake.

          The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

        • Arn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a handshake.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.

        • Parties — (Array<map>)

          Information about the two accounts that are participating in the handshake.

          • Idrequired — (String)

            The unique identifier (ID) for the party.

            • "EMAIL"
        • State — (String)

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

          Possible values include:
          • "REQUESTED"
          • "OPEN"
          • "CANCELED"
          • "ACCEPTED"

          • "EXPIRED"
        • RequestedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake request was made.

        • ExpirationTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake expires. If the recipient of the handshake request fails to respond before the specified date and time, the handshake becomes inactive and is no longer valid.

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

          Possible values include:
          • "INVITE"
          • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"

          Additional information that is needed to process the handshake.

          • Value — (String)

            The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

          • Type — (String)

            • "EMAIL"
        • State — (String)

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

          Possible values include:
          • "REQUESTED"
          • "OPEN"
          • "CANCELED"
          • "ACCEPTED"
          • "DECLINED"
          • "EXPIRED"
        • RequestedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake request was made.

        • ExpirationTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake expires. If the recipient of the handshake request fails to respond before the specified date and time, the handshake becomes inactive and is no longer valid.

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

          Possible values include:
          • "INVITE"
          • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
        • Resources — (Array<map>)

          Additional information that is needed to process the handshake.

          • Value — (String)

            The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

          • Type — (String)

            The type of information being passed, specifying how the value is to be interpreted by the other party:

            • ACCOUNT - Specifies an Amazon Web Services account ID number.

            • ORGANIZATION - Specifies an organization ID number.

            • EMAIL - Specifies the email address that is associated with the account that receives the handshake.

detachPolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Detaches a policy from a target root, organizational unit (OU), or account.

If the policy being detached is a service control policy (SCP), the changes to permissions for Identity and Access Management (IAM) users and roles in affected accounts are immediate.

Every root, OU, and account must have at least one SCP attached. If you want to replace the default FullAWSAccess policy with an SCP that limits the permissions that can be delegated, you must attach the replacement SCP before you can remove the default SCP. This is the authorization strategy of an "allow list". If you instead attach a second SCP and leave the FullAWSAccess SCP still attached, and specify "Effect": "Deny" in the second SCP to override the "Effect": "Allow" in the FullAWSAccess policy (or any other attached SCP), you're using the authorization strategy of a "deny list".

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

disableAWSServiceAccess(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Disables the integration of an Amazon Web Services service (the service that is specified by ServicePrincipal) with Organizations. When you disable integration, the specified service no longer can create a service-linked role in new accounts in your organization. This means the service can't perform operations on your behalf on any new accounts in your organization. The service can still perform operations in older accounts until the service completes its clean-up from Organizations.

We strongly recommend that you don't use this command to disable integration between Organizations and the specified Amazon Web Services service. Instead, use the console or commands that are provided by the specified service. This lets the trusted service perform any required initialization when enabling trusted access, such as creating any required resources and any required clean up of resources when disabling trusted access.

For information about how to disable trusted service access to your organization using the trusted service, see the Learn more link under the Supports Trusted Access column at Amazon Web Services services that you can use with Organizations. on this page.

If you disable access by using this command, it causes the following actions to occur:

  • The service can no longer create a service-linked role in the accounts in your organization. This means that the service can't perform operations on your behalf on any new accounts in your organization. The service can still perform operations in older accounts until the service completes its clean-up from Organizations.

  • The service can no longer perform tasks in the member accounts in the organization, unless those operations are explicitly permitted by the IAM policies that are attached to your roles. This includes any data aggregation from the member accounts to the management account, or to a delegated administrator account, where relevant.

  • Some services detect this and clean up any remaining data or resources related to the integration, while other services stop accessing the organization but leave any historical data and configuration in place to support a possible re-enabling of the integration.

Using the other service's console or commands to disable the integration ensures that the other service is aware that it can clean up any resources that are required only for the integration. How the service cleans up its resources in the organization's accounts depends on that service. For more information, see the documentation for the other Amazon Web Services service.

After you perform the DisableAWSServiceAccess operation, the specified service can no longer perform operations in your organization's accounts

For more information about integrating other services with Organizations, including the list of services that work with Organizations, see Using Organizations with other Amazon Web Services services in the Organizations User Guide.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the disableAWSServiceAccess operation

var params = {
  ServicePrincipal: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
organizations.disableAWSServiceAccess(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ServicePrincipal — (String)

      The service principal name of the Amazon Web Services service for which you want to disable integration with your organization. This is typically in the form of a URL, such as service-abbreviation.amazonaws.com.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

disablePolicyType(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Disables an organizational policy type in a root. A policy of a certain type can be attached to entities in a root only if that type is enabled in the root. After you perform this operation, you no longer can attach policies of the specified type to that root or to any organizational unit (OU) or account in that root. You can undo this by using the EnablePolicyType operation.

This is an asynchronous request that Amazon Web Services performs in the background. If you disable a policy type for a root, it still appears enabled for the organization if all features are enabled for the organization. Amazon Web Services recommends that you first use ListRoots to see the status of policy types for a specified root, and then use this operation.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

To view the status of available policy types in the organization, use DescribeOrganization.

Service Reference:

Examples:

enableAllFeatures(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Enables all features in an organization. This enables the use of organization policies that can restrict the services and actions that can be called in each account. Until you enable all features, you have access only to consolidated billing, and you can't use any of the advanced account administration features that Organizations supports. For more information, see Enabling all features in your organization in the Organizations User Guide.

This operation is required only for organizations that were created explicitly with only the consolidated billing features enabled. Calling this operation sends a handshake to every invited account in the organization. The feature set change can be finalized and the additional features enabled only after all administrators in the invited accounts approve the change by accepting the handshake.

After you enable all features, you can separately enable or disable individual policy types in a root using EnablePolicyType and DisablePolicyType. To see the status of policy types in a root, use ListRoots.

After all invited member accounts accept the handshake, you finalize the feature set change by accepting the handshake that contains "Action": "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES". This completes the change.

After you enable all features in your organization, the management account in the organization can apply policies on all member accounts. These policies can restrict what users and even administrators in those accounts can do. The management account can apply policies that prevent accounts from leaving the organization. Ensure that your account administrators are aware of this.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

To enable all features in an organization


/* This example shows the administrator asking all the invited accounts in the organization to approve enabling all features in the organization. AWS Organizations sends an email to the address that is registered with every invited member account asking the owner to approve the change by accepting the handshake that is sent.

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

enableAWSServiceAccess(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Enables the integration of an Amazon Web Services service (the service that is specified by ServicePrincipal) with Organizations. When you enable integration, you allow the specified service to create a service-linked role in all the accounts in your organization. This allows the service to perform operations on your behalf in your organization and its accounts.

We recommend that you enable integration between Organizations and the specified Amazon Web Services service by using the console or commands that are provided by the specified service. Doing so ensures that the service is aware that it can create the resources that are required for the integration. How the service creates those resources in the organization's accounts depends on that service. For more information, see the documentation for the other Amazon Web Services service.

For more information about enabling services to integrate with Organizations, see Using Organizations with other Amazon Web Services services in the Organizations User Guide.

You can only call this operation from the organization's management account and only if the organization has enabled all features.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the enableAWSServiceAccess operation

var params = {
  ServicePrincipal: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
organizations.enableAWSServiceAccess(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ServicePrincipal — (String)

      The service principal name of the Amazon Web Services service for which you want to enable integration with your organization. This is typically in the form of a URL, such as service-abbreviation.amazonaws.com.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

enablePolicyType(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Enables a policy type in a root. After you enable a policy type in a root, you can attach policies of that type to the root, any organizational unit (OU), or account in that root. You can undo this by using the DisablePolicyType operation.

This is an asynchronous request that Amazon Web Services performs in the background. Amazon Web Services recommends that you first use ListRoots to see the status of policy types for a specified root, and then use this operation.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

You can enable a policy type in a root only if that policy type is available in the organization. To view the status of available policy types in the organization, use DescribeOrganization.

Service Reference:

Examples:

To enable a policy type in a root


/* The following example shows how to enable the service control policy (SCP) policy type in a root. The output shows a root object with a PolicyTypes response element showing that SCPs are now enabled:/n/n */

 var params = {
  PolicyType: "SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY", 
  RootId: "r-examplerootid111"
 };
 organizations.enablePolicyType(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   /*

      • "BACKUP_POLICY"
      • "AISERVICES_OPT_OUT_POLICY"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

inviteAccountToOrganization(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Sends an invitation to another account to join your organization as a member account. Organizations sends email on your behalf to the email address that is associated with the other account's owner. The invitation is implemented as a Handshake whose details are in the response.

  • You can invite Amazon Web Services accounts only from the same seller as the management account. For example, if your organization's management account was created by Amazon Internet Services Pvt. Ltd (AISPL), an Amazon Web Services seller in India, you can invite only other AISPL accounts to your organization. You can't combine accounts from AISPL and Amazon Web Services or from any other Amazon Web Services seller. For more information, see Consolidated billing in India.

  • If you receive an exception that indicates that you exceeded your account limits for the organization or that the operation failed because your organization is still initializing, wait one hour and then try again. If the error persists after an hour, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

If the request includes tags, then the requester must have the organizations:TagResource permission.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account.

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Target — (map)

      The identifier (ID) of the Amazon Web Services account that you want to invite to join your organization. This is a JSON object that contains the following elements:

      { "Type": "ACCOUNT", "Id": "< account id number >" }

      If you use the CLI, you can submit this as a single string, similar to the following example:

      --target Id=123456789012,Type=ACCOUNT

      If you specify "Type": "ACCOUNT", you must provide the Amazon Web Services account ID number as the Id. If you specify "Type": "EMAIL", you must specify the email address that is associated with the account.

      --target Id=diego@example.com,Type=EMAIL

      • Idrequired — (String)

        The unique identifier (ID) for the party.

        The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

      • Typerequired — (String)

        The type of party.

        Possible values include:
        • "ACCOUNT"
        • "ORGANIZATION"
        • "EMAIL"
    • Notes — (String)

      Additional information that you want to include in the generated email to the recipient account owner.

    • Tags — (Array<map>)

      A list of tags that you want to attach to the account when it becomes a member of the organization. For each tag in the list, you must specify both a tag key and a value. You can set the value to an empty string, but you can't set it to null. For more information about tagging, see Tagging Organizations resources in the Organizations User Guide.

      Any tags in the request are checked for compliance with any applicable tag policies when the request is made. The request is rejected if the tags in the request don't match the requirements of the policy at that time. Tag policy compliance is not checked again when the invitation is accepted and the tags are actually attached to the account. That means that if the tag policy changes between the invitation and the acceptance, then that tags could potentially be non-compliant.

      Note: If any one of the tags is not valid or if you exceed the allowed number of tags for an account, then the entire request fails and invitations are not sent.
      • Keyrequired — (String)

        The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

      • Valuerequired — (String)

        The string value that's associated with the key of the tag. You can set the value of a tag to an empty string, but you can't set the value of a tag to null.

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

leaveOrganization(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Removes a member account from its parent organization. This version of the operation is performed by the account that wants to leave. To remove a member account as a user in the management account, use RemoveAccountFromOrganization instead.

This operation can be called only from a member account in the organization.

  • The management account in an organization with all features enabled can set service control policies (SCPs) that can restrict what administrators of member accounts can do. This includes preventing them from successfully calling LeaveOrganization and leaving the organization.

  • You can leave an organization as a member account only if the account is configured with the information required to operate as a standalone account. When you create an account in an organization using the Organizations console, API, or CLI commands, the information required of standalone accounts is not automatically collected. For each account that you want to make standalone, you must perform the following steps. If any of the steps are already completed for this account, that step doesn't appear.

    • Choose a support plan

    • Provide and verify the required contact information

    • Provide a current payment method

    Amazon Web Services uses the payment method to charge for any billable (not free tier) Amazon Web Services activity that occurs while the account isn't attached to an organization. For more information, see Considerations before removing an account from an organization in the Organizations User Guide.

  • The account that you want to leave must not be a delegated administrator account for any Amazon Web Services service enabled for your organization. If the account is a delegated administrator, you must first change the delegated administrator account to another account that is remaining in the organization.

  • You can leave an organization only after you enable IAM user access to billing in your account. For more information, see About IAM access to the Billing and Cost Management console in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

  • After the account leaves the organization, all tags that were attached to the account object in the organization are deleted. Amazon Web Services accounts outside of an organization do not support tags.

  • A newly created account has a waiting period before it can be removed from its organization. If you get an error that indicates that a wait period is required, then try again in a few days.

  • If you are using an organization principal to call LeaveOrganization across multiple accounts, you can only do this up to 5 accounts per second in a single organization.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

listAccounts(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists all the accounts in the organization. To request only the accounts in a specified root or organizational unit (OU), use the ListAccountsForParent operation instead.

Note: Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

Calling the listAccounts operation

var params = {
  MaxResults: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  NextToken: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
organizations.listAccounts(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • NextToken — (String)

      The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

    • MaxResults — (Integer)

      The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Organizations might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Accounts — (Array<map>)

        A list of objects in the organization.

        • Id — (String)

          The unique identifier (ID) of the account.

          The regex pattern for an account ID string requires exactly 12 digits.

        • Arn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the account.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.

        • Email — (String)

          The email address associated with the Amazon Web Services account.

          The regex pattern for this parameter is a string of characters that represents a standard internet email address.

        • Name — (String)

          The friendly name of the account.

          The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of any of the characters in the ASCII character range.

        • Status — (String)

          The status of the account in the organization.

          Possible values include:
          • "ACTIVE"
          • "SUSPENDED"
          • "PENDING_CLOSURE"
        • JoinedMethod — (String)

          The method by which the account joined the organization.

          Possible values include:
          • "INVITED"
          • "CREATED"
        • JoinedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date the account became a part of the organization.

      • NextToken — (String)

        If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

listAccountsForParent(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists the accounts in an organization that are contained by the specified target root or organizational unit (OU). If you specify the root, you get a list of all the accounts that aren't in any OU. If you specify an OU, you get a list of all the accounts in only that OU and not in any child OUs. To get a list of all accounts in the organization, use the ListAccounts operation.

Note: Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

listDelegatedAdministrators(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists the Amazon Web Services accounts that are designated as delegated administrators in this organization.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the listDelegatedAdministrators operation

var params = {
  MaxResults: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  NextToken: 'STRING_VALUE',
  ServicePrincipal: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
organizations.listDelegatedAdministrators(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ServicePrincipal — (String)

      Specifies a service principal name. If specified, then the operation lists the delegated administrators only for the specified service.

Calling the listHandshakesForAccount operation

var params = {
  Filter: {
    ActionType: INVITE | ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES | APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES | ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE,
    ParentHandshakeId: 'STRING_VALUE'
  },
  MaxResults: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  NextToken: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
organizations.listHandshakesForAccount(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Filter — (map)

      Filters the handshakes that you want included in the response. The default is all types. Use the ActionType element to limit the output to only a specified type, such as INVITE, ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES, or APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES. Alternatively, for the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES handshake that generates a separate child handshake for each member account, you can specify ParentHandshakeId to see only the handshakes that were generated by that parent request.

      • ActionType — (String)

        Specifies the type of handshake action.

        If you specify ActionType, you cannot also specify ParentHandshakeId.

        Possible values include:
        • "INVITE"
        • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
        • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
        • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
      • ParentHandshakeId — (String)

        Specifies the parent handshake. Only used for handshake types that are a child of another type.

        If you specify ParentHandshakeId, you cannot also specify ActionType.

        The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

    • NextToken — (String)

      The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

    • MaxResults — (Integer)

      The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Organizations might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Handshakes — (Array<map>)

        A list of Handshake objects with details about each of the handshakes that is associated with the specified account.

        • Id — (String)

          The unique identifier (ID) of a handshake. The originating account creates the ID when it initiates the handshake.

          The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

        • Arn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a handshake.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.

        • Parties — (Array<map>)

          Information about the two accounts that are participating in the handshake.

          • Idrequired — (String)

            The unique identifier (ID) for the party.

            The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            • "EMAIL"
        • State — (String)

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

          Possible values include:
          • "REQUESTED"
          • "OPEN"
          • "CANCELED"
          • "ACCEPTED"
          • "DECLINED"
          • "EXPIRED"
        • RequestedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake request was made.

        • ExpirationTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake expires. If the recipient of the handshake request fails to respond before the specified date and time, the handshake becomes inactive and is no longer valid.

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

          Possible values include:
          • "INVITE"
          • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
        • Resources — (Array<map>)

          Additional information that is needed to process the handshake.

          • Value — (String)

            The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

          • Type — (String)

            The type of information being passed, specifying how the value is to be interpreted by the other party:

            • ACCOUNT - Specifies an Amazon Web Services account ID number.

            • ORGANIZATION - Specifies an organization ID number.

            • EMAIL - Specifies the email address that is associated with the account that receives the handshake.

            • OWNER_EMAIL - Specifies the email address associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • OWNER_NAME - Specifies the name associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • "PARENT_HANDSHAKE"
      • NextToken — (String)

        If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

listHandshakesForOrganization(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists the handshakes that are associated with the organization that the requesting user is part of. The ListHandshakesForOrganization operation returns a list of handshake structures. Each structure contains details and status about a handshake.

Handshakes that are ACCEPTED, DECLINED, CANCELED, or EXPIRED appear in the results of this API for only 30 days after changing to that state. After that, they're deleted and no longer accessible.

Note: Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

Calling the listHandshakesForOrganization operation

var params = {
  Filter: {
    ActionType: INVITE | ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES | APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES | ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE,
    ParentHandshakeId: 'STRING_VALUE'
  },
  MaxResults: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  NextToken: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
organizations.listHandshakesForOrganization(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Filter — (map)

      A filter of the handshakes that you want included in the response. The default is all types. Use the ActionType element to limit the output to only a specified type, such as INVITE, ENABLE-ALL-FEATURES, or APPROVE-ALL-FEATURES. Alternatively, for the ENABLE-ALL-FEATURES handshake that generates a separate child handshake for each member account, you can specify the ParentHandshakeId to see only the handshakes that were generated by that parent request.

      • ActionType — (String)

        Specifies the type of handshake action.

        If you specify ActionType, you cannot also specify ParentHandshakeId.

        Possible values include:
        • "INVITE"
        • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
        • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
        • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
      • ParentHandshakeId — (String)

        Specifies the parent handshake. Only used for handshake types that are a child of another type.

        If you specify ParentHandshakeId, you cannot also specify ActionType.

        The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

    • NextToken — (String)

      The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

    • MaxResults — (Integer)

      The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Organizations might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Handshakes — (Array<map>)

        A list of Handshake objects with details about each of the handshakes that are associated with an organization.

        • Id — (String)

          The unique identifier (ID) of a handshake. The originating account creates the ID when it initiates the handshake.

          The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

        • Arn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a handshake.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.

        • Parties — (Array<map>)

          Information about the two accounts that are participating in the handshake.

          • Idrequired — (String)

            The unique identifier (ID) for the party.

            The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            The type of party.

            Possible values include:
            • "ACCOUNT"
            • "ORGANIZATION"
            • "EMAIL"
        • State — (String)

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

          • EXPIRED: This handshake is no longer active because the originator did not receive a response of any kind from the recipient before the expiration time (15 days).

          Possible values include:
          • "REQUESTED"
          • "OPEN"
          • "CANCELED"
          • "ACCEPTED"
          • "DECLINED"
          • "EXPIRED"
        • RequestedTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake request was made.

        • ExpirationTimestamp — (Date)

          The date and time that the handshake expires. If the recipient of the handshake request fails to respond before the specified date and time, the handshake becomes inactive and is no longer valid.

        • Action — (String)

          The type of handshake, indicating what action occurs when the recipient accepts the handshake. The following handshake types are supported:

          • INVITE: This type of handshake represents a request to join an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only non-member accounts.

          • ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake represents a request to enable all features in an organization. It is always sent from the management account to only invited member accounts. Created accounts do not receive this because those accounts were created by the organization's management account and approval is inferred.

          • APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES: This type of handshake is sent from the Organizations service when all member accounts have approved the ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES invitation. It is sent only to the management account and signals the master that it can finalize the process to enable all features.

          Possible values include:
          • "INVITE"
          • "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "APPROVE_ALL_FEATURES"
          • "ADD_ORGANIZATIONS_SERVICE_LINKED_ROLE"
        • Resources — (Array<map>)

          Additional information that is needed to process the handshake.

          • Value — (String)

            The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

          • Type — (String)

            The type of information being passed, specifying how the value is to be interpreted by the other party:

            • ACCOUNT - Specifies an Amazon Web Services account ID number.

            • ORGANIZATION - Specifies an organization ID number.

            • EMAIL - Specifies the email address that is associated with the account that receives the handshake.

            • OWNER_EMAIL - Specifies the email address associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • OWNER_NAME - Specifies the name associated with the management account. Included as information about an organization.

            • NOTES - Additional text provided by the handshake initiator and intended for the recipient to read.

            Possible values include:
            • "ACCOUNT"
            • "ORGANIZATION"
            • "ORGANIZATION_FEATURE_SET"
            • "EMAIL"
            • "MASTER_EMAIL"
            • "MASTER_NAME"
            • "NOTES"
            • "PARENT_HANDSHAKE"
      • NextToken — (String)

        If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

listOrganizationalUnitsForParent(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists the organizational units (OUs) in a parent organizational unit or root.

Note: Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available.

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

listPoliciesForTarget(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists the policies that are directly attached to the specified target root, organizational unit (OU), or account. You must specify the policy type that you want included in the returned list.

Note: Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TargetId — (String)

      The unique identifier (ID) of the root, organizational unit, or account whose policies you want to list.

      The regex pattern for a target ID string requires one of the following:

      • Root - A string that begins with "r-" followed by from 4 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

      • Account - A string that consists of exactly 12 digits.

      • Organizational unit (OU) - A string that begins with "ou-" followed by from 4 to 32 lowercase letters or digits (the ID of the root that the OU is in). This string is followed by a second "-" dash and from 8 to 32 additional lowercase letters or digits.

    • Filter — (String)

      The type of policy that you want to include in the returned list. You must specify one of the following values:

      Possible values include:
      • "SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY"
      • "TAG_POLICY"

      • "AISERVICES_OPT_OUT_POLICY"
    • NextToken — (String)

      The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

    • MaxResults — (Integer)

      The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Organizations might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

listRoots(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Lists the roots that are defined in the current organization.

Note: Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

Note: Policy types can be enabled and disabled in roots. This is distinct from whether they're available in the organization. When you enable all features, you make policy types available for use in that organization. Individual policy types can then be enabled and disabled in a root. To see the availability of a policy type in an organization, use DescribeOrganization.

You can run this action only for Amazon Web Services services that support this feature. For a current list of services that support it, see the column Supports Delegated Administrator in the table at Amazon Web Services Services that you can use with Organizations in the Organizations User Guide.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the registerDelegatedAdministrator operation

var params = {
  AccountId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ServicePrincipal: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
organizations.registerDelegatedAdministrator(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • AccountId — (String)

      The account ID number of the member account in the organization to register as a delegated administrator.

    • ServicePrincipal — (String)

      The service principal of the Amazon Web Services service for which you want to make the member account a delegated administrator.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

removeAccountFromOrganization(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Removes the specified account from the organization.

The removed account becomes a standalone account that isn't a member of any organization. It's no longer subject to any policies and is responsible for its own bill payments. The organization's management account is no longer charged for any expenses accrued by the member account after it's removed from the organization.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account. Member accounts can remove themselves with LeaveOrganization instead.

  • You can remove an account from your organization only if the account is configured with the information required to operate as a standalone account. When you create an account in an organization using the Organizations console, API, or CLI commands, the information required of standalone accounts is not automatically collected. For more information, see Considerations before removing an account from an organization in the Organizations User Guide.

  • The account that you want to leave must not be a delegated administrator account for any Amazon Web Services service enabled for your organization. If the account is a delegated administrator, you must first change the delegated administrator account to another account that is remaining in the organization.

  • After the account leaves the organization, all tags that were attached to the account object in the organization are deleted. Amazon Web Services accounts outside of an organization do not support tags.
