PutOrganizationConfigRule

Adds or updates organization config rule for your entire organization evaluating whether your AWS resources comply with your desired configurations.

Only a master account and a delegated administrator can create or update an organization config rule. When calling this API with a delegated administrator, you must ensure AWS Organizations ListDelegatedAdministrator permissions are added.

This API enables organization service access through the EnableAWSServiceAccess action and creates a service linked role AWSServiceRoleForConfigMultiAccountSetup in the master or delegated administrator account of your organization. The service linked role is created only when the role does not exist in the caller account. AWS Config verifies the existence of role with GetRole action.

To use this API with delegated administrator, register a delegated administrator by calling AWS Organization register-delegated-administrator for config-multiaccountsetup.amazonaws.com.

You can use this action to create both custom AWS Config rules and AWS Config managed rules. If you are adding a new custom AWS Config rule, you must first create AWS Lambda function in the master account or a delegated administrator that the rule invokes to evaluate your resources. You also need to create an IAM role in the managed-account that can be assumed by the Lambda function. When you use the PutOrganizationConfigRule action to add the rule to AWS Config, you must specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that AWS Lambda assigns to the function. If you are adding an AWS Config managed rule, specify the rule's identifier for the RuleIdentifier key.

The maximum number of organization config rules that AWS Config supports is 150 and 3 delegated administrator per organization.

Note

Prerequisite: Ensure you call EnableAllFeatures API to enable all features in an organization.

Specify either OrganizationCustomRuleMetadata or OrganizationManagedRuleMetadata.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InsufficientPermissionsException

Indicates one of the following errors:

For PutConfigRule, the rule cannot be created because the IAM role assigned to AWS Config lacks permissions to perform the config:Put* action.
For PutConfigRule, the AWS Lambda function cannot be invoked. Check the function ARN, and check the function's permissions.
For PutOrganizationConfigRule, organization config rule cannot be created because you do not have permissions to call IAM GetRole action or create a service linked role.
For PutConformancePack and PutOrganizationConformancePack, a conformance pack cannot be created because you do not have permissions:
- To call IAM GetRole action or create a service linked role.
- To read Amazon S3 bucket.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidParameterValueException

One or more of the specified parameters are invalid. Verify that your parameters are valid and try again.

HTTP Status Code: 400

MaxNumberOfOrganizationConfigRulesExceededException

You have reached the limit of the number of organization config rules you can create.

HTTP Status Code: 400

NoAvailableOrganizationException

HTTP Status Code: 400

OrganizationAccessDeniedException

For PutConfigurationAggregator API, you can see this exception for the following reasons:

No permission to call EnableAWSServiceAccess API
The configuration aggregator cannot be updated because your AWS Organization management account or the delegated administrator role changed. Delete this aggregator and create a new one with the current AWS Organization.
The configuration aggregator is associated with a previous AWS Organization and AWS Config cannot aggregate data with current AWS Organization. Delete this aggregator and create a new one with the current AWS Organization.
You are not a registered delegated administrator for AWS Config with permissions to call ListDelegatedAdministrators API. Ensure that the management account registers delagated administrator for AWS Config service principle name before the delegated administrator creates an aggregator.

For all OrganizationConfigRule and OrganizationConformancePack APIs, AWS Config throws an exception if APIs are called from member accounts. All APIs must be called from organization master account.

HTTP Status Code: 400
