Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
Amazon Web Services Control Tower offers application programming interface (API) operations that support programmatic interaction with these types of resources:
For more information about these types of resources, see the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide .
About control APIs
These interfaces allow you to apply the Amazon Web Services library of pre-defined controls to your organizational units, programmatically. In Amazon Web Services Control Tower, the terms "control" and "guardrail" are synonyms.
To call these APIs, you'll need to know:
-
the
controlIdentifier
for the control--or guardrail--you are targeting. -
the ARN associated with the target organizational unit (OU), which we call the
targetIdentifier
. -
the ARN associated with a resource that you wish to tag or untag.
To get the controlIdentifier
for your Amazon Web Services Control Tower control:
The controlIdentifier
is an ARN that is specified for each control. You can view the controlIdentifier
in the console on the Control details page, as well as in the documentation.
About identifiers for Amazon Web Services Control Tower
The Amazon Web Services Control Tower controlIdentifier
is unique in each Amazon Web Services Region for each control. You can find the controlIdentifier
for each Region and control in the Tables of control metadata or the Control availability by Region tables in the Amazon Web Services Control Tower Controls Reference Guide.
A quick-reference list of control identifers for the Amazon Web Services Control Tower legacy Strongly recommended and Elective controls is given in Resource identifiers for APIs and controls in the Amazon Web Services Control Tower Controls Reference Guide . Remember that Mandatory controls cannot be added or removed.
- ARN format for Amazon Web Services Control Tower:
arn:aws:controltower:[REGION]::control/[CONTROL_TOWER_OPAQUE_ID]
Example:arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2::control/AWS-GR_AUTOSCALING_LAUNCH_CONFIG_PUBLIC_IP_DISABLED
- ARN format for Amazon Web Services Control Catalog:
arn:[PARTITION]:controlcatalog:::control/[CONTROL_CATALOG_OPAQUE_ID]
[CONTROL_CATALOG_OPAQUE_ID]
in the Amazon Web Services Control Tower Controls Reference Guide , or in the Amazon Web Services Control Tower console, on the Control details page. The Amazon Web Services Control Tower APIs for enabled controls, such as GetEnabledControl
and ListEnabledControls
always return an ARN of the same type given when the control was enabled. To get the targetIdentifier
:
The targetIdentifier
is the ARN for an OU.
In the Amazon Web Services Organizations console, you can find the ARN for the OU on the Organizational unit details page associated with that OU.
arn:$[Partition]:organizations::$[MasterAccountId]:ou/o-$[OrganizationId]/ou-$[OrganizationalUnitId]
About landing zone APIs
You can configure and launch an Amazon Web Services Control Tower landing zone with APIs. For an introduction and steps, see Getting started with Amazon Web Services Control Tower using APIs.
For an overview of landing zone API operations, see Amazon Web Services Control Tower supports landing zone APIs. The individual API operations for landing zones are detailed in this document, the API reference manual, in the "Actions" section.
About baseline APIs
You can apply the AWSControlTowerBaseline
baseline to an organizational unit (OU) as a way to register the OU with Amazon Web Services Control Tower, programmatically. For a general overview of this capability, see Amazon Web Services Control Tower supports APIs for OU registration and configuration with baselines.
You can call the baseline API operations to view the baselines that Amazon Web Services Control Tower enables for your landing zone, on your behalf, when setting up the landing zone. These baselines are read-only baselines.
The individual API operations for baselines are detailed in this document, the API reference manual, in the "Actions" section. For usage examples, see Baseline API input and output examples with CLI.
About Amazon Web Services Control Catalog identifiers
-
The
EnableControl
andDisableControl
API operations can be called by specifying either the Amazon Web Services Control Tower identifer or the Amazon Web Services Control Catalog identifier. The API response returns the same type of identifier that you specified when calling the API. -
If you use an Amazon Web Services Control Tower identifier to call the
EnableControl
API, and then callEnableControl
again with an Amazon Web Services Control Catalog identifier, Amazon Web Services Control Tower returns an error message stating that the control is already enabled. Similar behavior applies to theDisableControl
API operation. -
Mandatory controls and the landing-zone-level Region deny control have Amazon Web Services Control Tower identifiers only.

Recording API Requests
Amazon Web Services Control Tower supports Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services Control Tower service received, who made the request and when, and so on. For more about Amazon Web Services Control Tower and its support for CloudTrail, see Logging Amazon Web Services Control Tower Actions with Amazon Web Services CloudTrail in the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the Amazon Web Services CloudTrail User Guide.
Sending a Request Using ControlTower
var controltower = new AWS.ControlTower();
controltower.createLandingZone(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 ControlTower object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion
option to the constructor:
var controltower = new AWS.ControlTower({apiVersion: '2018-05-10'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions
using
the controltower service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
controltower: '2018-05-10',
// other service API versions
};
var controltower = new AWS.ControlTower();

resources. You can filter the list by the corresponding Baseline
or Target
of the EnabledBaseline
resources. For usage examples, see the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide .

Returns one landing zone ARN.
listTagsForResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Returns a list of tags associated with the resource. For usage examples, see the Controls Reference Guide .
resetEnabledBaseline(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Re-enables an EnabledBaseline
resource. For example, this API can re-apply the existing Baseline
after a new member account is moved to the target OU. For usage examples, see the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide .
resetLandingZone(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
This API call resets a landing zone. It starts an asynchronous operation that resets the landing zone to the parameters specified in the original configuration, which you specified in the manifest file. Nothing in the manifest file's original landing zone configuration is changed during the reset process, by default. This API is not the same as a rollback of a landing zone version, which is not a supported operation.
tagResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Applies tags to a resource. For usage examples, see the Controls Reference Guide .
untagResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Removes tags from a resource. For usage examples, see the Controls Reference Guide .

Updates an EnabledBaseline
resource's applied parameters or version. For usage examples, see the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide .
updateEnabledControl(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Updates the configuration of an already enabled control.
If the enabled control shows an EnablementStatus
of SUCCEEDED, supply parameters that are different from the currently configured parameters. Otherwise, Amazon Web Services Control Tower will not accept the request.
If the enabled control shows an EnablementStatus
of FAILED, Amazon Web Services Control Tower updates the control to match any valid parameters that you supply.
If the DriftSummary
status for the control shows as DRIFTED, you cannot call this API. Instead, you can update the control by calling DisableControl
and again calling EnableControl
, or you can run an extending governance operation. For usage examples, see the Controls Reference Guide .
