CreateOrganization (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'Organization': {'AvailablePolicyTypes': {'Type': {'BACKUP_POLICY'}}}}

Creates an AWS organization. The account whose user is calling the CreateOrganization operation automatically becomes the master account of the new organization.

This operation must be called using credentials from the account that is to become the new organization's master 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

Request Syntax

client.create_organization(
    FeatureSet='ALL'|'CONSOLIDATED_BILLING'
)
type FeatureSet:

string

param FeatureSet:

Specifies the feature set supported by the new organization. Each feature set supports different levels of functionality.

  • CONSOLIDATED_BILLING: All member accounts have their bills consolidated to and paid by the master account. For more information, see Consolidated billing in the AWS Organizations User Guide. The consolidated billing feature subset isn't available for organizations in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region.

  • ALL: In addition to all the features supported by the consolidated billing feature set, the master account can also apply any policy type to any member account in the organization. For more information, see All features in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

DisablePolicyType (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'PolicyType': {'BACKUP_POLICY'}}
Response
{'Root': {'PolicyTypes': {'Type': {'BACKUP_POLICY'}}}}

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 AWS 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. AWS 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 master account.

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

)
type TargetId:

string

param TargetId:

[REQUIRED]

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.

type Filter:

string

param Filter:

[REQUIRED]

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

type NextToken:

string

param NextToken:

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.

type MaxResults:

integer

param MaxResults:

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.

  • (dict) --

    • Policies (list) --

      The list of policies that match the criteria in the request.

        • Id (string) --

          The unique identifier (ID) of the policy.

          The regex pattern for a policy ID string requires "p-" followed by from 8 to 128 lower-case letters or digits.

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the policy.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

        • Name (string) --

          The friendly name of the policy.

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

          The description of the policy.

        • Type (string) --

          The type of policy.

        • AwsManaged (boolean) --

          A boolean value that indicates whether the specified policy is an AWS managed policy. If true, then you can attach the policy to roots, OUs, or accounts, but you cannot edit it.

    • 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.

  • (dict) --

    • Roots (list) --

      A list of roots that are defined in an organization.

      • (dict) --

        Contains details about a root. A root is a top-level parent node in the hierarchy of an organization that can contain organizational units (OUs) and accounts. Every root contains every AWS account in the organization. Each root enables the accounts to be organized in a different way and to have different policy types enabled for use in that root.

        • Id (string) --

          The unique identifier (ID) for the root.

          The regex pattern for a root ID string requires "r-" followed by from 4 to 32 lower-case letters or digits.

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the root.

          For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

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

        • PolicyTypes (list) --

          The types of policies that are currently enabled for the root and therefore can be attached to the root or to its OUs or accounts.

          • (dict) --

            Contains information about a policy type and its status in the associated root.

            • Type (string) --

            • Status (string) --

              The status of the policy type as it relates to the associated root. To attach a policy of the specified type to a root or to an OU or account in that root, it must be available in the organization and enabled for that root.

    • 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.
