Configure CloudTrail settings - AWS CloudTrail

Configure CloudTrail settings

You can use the Settings page on the CloudTrail console to configure and review CloudTrail settings, such as managing delegated administrators for an AWS Organizations organization and viewing any service-linked channels created for your account.

To access the Settings page

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudTrail console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/.

  2. Choose Settings in the left navigation pane of the CloudTrail console.

  3. Review and update your settings as needed.

    The following settings are available:

    • Organization delegated administrators – If you have an AWS Organizations organization, you can view CloudTrail delegated administrators, add delegated administrators (up to three maximum), and remove delegated administrators. Only the organization's management account can add or remove delegated administrators.

      The organization's management account can assign any account within the organization to act as a CloudTrail delegated administrator to manage the organization's trails and event data stores on behalf of the organization.

    • Viewing service-linked channels – You can view any service-linked channels created for your account.

      AWS services can create a service-linked channel to receive CloudTrail events on your behalf. The AWS service creating the service-linked channel configures advanced event selectors for the channel and specifies whether the channel applies to all AWS Regions, or a single AWS Region.
