describe-organization-configuration¶

Description¶

Returns information about the way your organization is configured in Security Hub. Only the Security Hub administrator account can invoke this operation.

Synopsis¶

  describe-organization-configuration
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--debug]
[--endpoint-url <value>]
[--no-verify-ssl]
[--no-paginate]
[--output <value>]
[--query <value>]
[--profile <value>]
[--region <value>]
[--version <value>]
[--color <value>]
[--no-sign-request]
[--ca-bundle <value>]
[--cli-read-timeout <value>]
[--cli-connect-timeout <value>]

Options¶

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To view how Security Hub is configured for an organization

The following describe-organization-configuration example returns information about the way an organization is configured in Security Hub. In this example, the organization uses central configuration. Only the Security Hub administrator account can run this command.

aws securityhub describe-organization-configuration

Output:

{
    "AutoEnable": false,
    "MemberAccountLimitReached": false,
    "AutoEnableStandards": "NONE",
    "OrganizationConfiguration": {
        "ConfigurationType": "LOCAL",
        "Status": "ENABLED",
        "StatusMessage": "Central configuration has been enabled successfully"
    }
}

For more information, see Managing accounts with AWS Organizations in the AWS Security Hub User Guide.

Output¶

AutoEnable -> (boolean)

Whether to automatically enable Security Hub in new member accounts when they join the organization.

If set to true , then Security Hub is automatically enabled in new accounts. If set to false , then Security Hub isn't enabled in new accounts automatically. The default value is false .

If the ConfigurationType of your organization is set to CENTRAL , then this field is set to false and can't be changed in the home Region and linked Regions. However, in that case, the delegated administrator can create a configuration policy in which Security Hub is enabled and associate the policy with new organization accounts.

MemberAccountLimitReached -> (boolean)

Whether the maximum number of allowed member accounts are already associated with the Security Hub administrator account.

AutoEnableStandards -> (string)

Whether to automatically enable Security Hub default standards in new member accounts when they join the organization.

If equal to DEFAULT , then Security Hub default standards are automatically enabled for new member accounts. If equal to NONE , then default standards are not automatically enabled for new member accounts. The default value of this parameter is equal to DEFAULT .

If the ConfigurationType of your organization is set to CENTRAL , then this field is set to NONE and can't be changed in the home Region and linked Regions. However, in that case, the delegated administrator can create a configuration policy in which specific security standards are enabled and associate the policy with new organization accounts.

OrganizationConfiguration -> (structure)

Provides information about the way an organization is configured in Security Hub.

ConfigurationType -> (string)

Indicates whether the organization uses local or central configuration.

If you use local configuration, the Security Hub delegated administrator can set AutoEnable to true and AutoEnableStandards to DEFAULT . This automatically enables Security Hub and default security standards in new organization accounts. These new account settings must be set separately in each Amazon Web Services Region, and settings may be different in each Region.

If you use central configuration, the delegated administrator can create configuration policies. Configuration policies can be used to configure Security Hub, security standards, and security controls in multiple accounts and Regions. If you want new organization accounts to use a specific configuration, you can create a configuration policy and associate it with the root or specific organizational units (OUs). New accounts will inherit the policy from the root or their assigned OU.

Status -> (string)

Describes whether central configuration could be enabled as the ConfigurationType for the organization. If your ConfigurationType is local configuration, then the value of Status is always ENABLED .

StatusMessage -> (string)

Provides an explanation if the value of Status is equal to FAILED when ConfigurationType is equal to CENTRAL .
