2019/04/18 - AWS Organizations - 1 new3 updated api methods
Changes Update organizations client to latest version
This action is available if all of the following are true:
You are authorized to create accounts in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region. For more information on the AWS GovCloud (US) Region, see the AWS GovCloud User Guide.
You already have an account in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region that is associated with your master account in the commercial Region.
You call this action from the master account of your organization in the commercial Region.
You have the organizations:CreateGovCloudAccount permission. AWS Organizations creates the required service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations. For more information, see AWS Organizations and Service-Linked Roles in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
AWS automatically enables AWS CloudTrail for AWS GovCloud (US) accounts, but you should also do the following:
Verify that AWS CloudTrail is enabled to store logs.
Create an S3 bucket for AWS CloudTrail log storage. For more information, see Verifying AWS CloudTrail Is Enabled in the AWS GovCloud User Guide.
You call this action from the master account of your organization in the commercial Region to create a standalone AWS account in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region. After the account is created, the master account of an organization in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region can invite it to that organization. For more information on inviting standalone accounts in the AWS GovCloud (US) to join an organization, see AWS Organizations in the AWS GovCloud User Guide.
Calling CreateGovCloudAccount is an asynchronous request that AWS performs in the background. Because CreateGovCloudAccount operates asynchronously, it can return a successful completion message even though account initialization might still be in progress. You might need to wait a few minutes before you can successfully access the account. To check the status of the request, do one of the following:
Use the OperationId response element from this operation to provide as a parameter to the DescribeCreateAccountStatus operation.
Check the AWS CloudTrail log for the CreateAccountResult event. For information on using AWS CloudTrail with Organizations, see Monitoring the Activity in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
When you call the CreateGovCloudAccount action, you create two accounts: a standalone account in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region and an associated account in the commercial Region for billing and support purposes. The account in the commercial Region is automatically a member of the organization whose credentials made the request. Both accounts are associated with the same email address.
A role is created in the new account in the commercial Region that allows the master account in the organization in the commercial Region to assume it. An AWS GovCloud (US) account is then created and associated with the commercial account that you just created. A role is created in the new AWS GovCloud (US) account that can be assumed by the AWS GovCloud (US) account that is associated with the master account of the commercial organization. For more information and to view a diagram that explains how account access works, see AWS Organizations in the AWS GovCloud User Guide.
For more information about creating accounts, see Creating an AWS Account in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

Request Syntax
client.create_gov_cloud_account(
Email='string',
AccountName='string',
RoleName='string',
IamUserAccessToBilling='ALLOW'|'DENY'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The email address of the owner to assign to the new member account in the commercial Region. This email address must not already be associated with another AWS account. You must use a valid email address to complete account creation. You can't access the root user of the account or remove an account that was created with an invalid email address. Like all request parameters for CreateGovCloudAccount, the request for the email address for the AWS GovCloud (US) account originates from the commercial Region, not from the AWS GovCloud (US) Region.
string
[REQUIRED]
The friendly name of the member account.
string
(Optional)
The name of an IAM role that AWS Organizations automatically preconfigures in the new member accounts in both the AWS GovCloud (US) Region and in the commercial Region. This role trusts the master account, allowing users in the master account to assume the role, as permitted by the master account administrator. The role has administrator permissions in the new member account.
If you don't specify this parameter, the role name defaults to OrganizationAccountAccessRole.
For more information about how to use this role to access the member account, see Accessing and Administering the Member Accounts in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide and steps 2 and 3 in Tutorial: Delegate Access Across AWS Accounts Using IAM Roles in the IAM User Guide.
The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters that can consist of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits with no spaces, and any of the following characters: =,.@-
string
If set to ALLOW, the new linked account in the commercial Region enables IAM users to access account billing information if they have the required permissions. If set to DENY, only the root user of the new account can access account billing information. For more information, see Activating Access to the Billing and Cost Management Console in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
If you don't specify this parameter, the value defaults to ALLOW, and IAM users and roles with the required permissions can access billing information for the new account.

Response Structure
(dict) --
CreateAccountStatus (dict) --
Contains the status about a CreateAccount or CreateGovCloudAccount request to create an AWS account or an AWS GovCloud (US) account in an organization.
Id (string) --
The unique identifier (ID) that references this request. You get this value from the response of the initial CreateAccount request to create the account.

AccountName (string) --
The account name given to the account when it was created.
State (string) --
The status of the request.
RequestedTimestamp (datetime) --
The date and time that the request was made for the account creation.
CompletedTimestamp (datetime) --
The date and time that the account was created and the request completed.
AccountId (string) --
If the account was created successfully, the unique identifier (ID) of the new account.
The regex pattern for an account ID string requires exactly 12 digits.
GovCloudAccountId (string) --

If the request failed, a description of the reason for the failure.
ACCOUNT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: The account could not be created because you have reached the limit on the number of accounts in your organization.
EMAIL_ALREADY_EXISTS: The account could not be created because another AWS account with that email address already exists.
INVALID_ADDRESS: The account could not be created because the address you provided is not valid.
INVALID_EMAIL: The account could not be created because the email address you provided is not valid.
INTERNAL_FAILURE: The account could not be created because of an internal failure. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact Customer Support.
{'CreateAccountStatus': {'GovCloudAccountId': 'string'}}
Creates an AWS account that is automatically a member of the organization whose credentials made the request. This is an asynchronous request that AWS performs in the background. Because CreateAccount operates asynchronously, it can return a successful completion message even though account initialization might still be in progress. You might need to wait a few minutes before you can successfully access the account. To check the status of the request, do one of the following:
Use the OperationId response element from this operation to provide as a parameter to the DescribeCreateAccountStatus operation.
Check the AWS CloudTrail log for the CreateAccountResult event. For information on using AWS CloudTrail with Organizations, see Monitoring the Activity in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
The user who calls the API to create an account must have the organizations:CreateAccount permission. If you enabled all features in the organization, AWS Organizations will create the required service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForOrganizations. For more information, see AWS Organizations and Service-Linked Roles in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
AWS Organizations preconfigures the new member account with a role (named OrganizationAccountAccessRole by default) that grants users in the master account administrator permissions in the new member account. Principals in the master account can assume the role. AWS Organizations clones the company name and address information for the new account from the organization's master account.
This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.
For more information about creating accounts, see Creating an AWS Account in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
