DetachPolicy (new) Link ¶

Detaches a policy from a target root, organizational unit, or account. If the policy being detached is a service control policy (SCP), the changes to permissions for IAM users and roles in affected accounts are immediate.

Note: Every root, OU, and account must have at least one SCP attached. If you want to replace the default FullAWSAccess policy with one that limits the permissions that can be delegated, then you must attach the replacement policy before you can remove the default one. This is the authorization strategy of whitelisting. If you instead attach a second SCP and leave the FullAWSAccess SCP still attached, and specify "Effect": "Deny" in the second SCP to override the "Effect": "Allow" in the FullAWSAccess policy (or any other attached SCP), then you are using the authorization strategy of blacklisting.

This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.

AttachPolicy (new) Link ¶

Attaches a policy to a root, an organizational unit, or an individual account. How the policy affects accounts depends on the type of policy:

  • Service control policy (SCP) - An SCP specifies what permissions can be delegated to users in affected member accounts. The scope of influence for a policy depends on what you attach the policy to:

    • If you attach an SCP to a root, it affects all accounts in the organization.

    • If you attach an SCP to an OU, it affects all accounts in that OU and in any child OUs.

    • If you attach the policy directly to an account, then it affects only that account.

SCPs essentially are permission "filters". When you attach one SCP to a higher level root or OU, and you also attach a different SCP to a child OU or to an account, the child policy can further restrict only the permissions that pass through the parent filter and are available to the child. An SCP that is attached to a child cannot grant a permission that is not already granted by the parent. For example, imagine that the parent SCP allows permissions A, B, C, D, and E. The child SCP allows C, D, E, F, and G. The result is that the accounts affected by the child SCP are allowed to use only C, D, and E. They cannot use A or B because they were filtered out by the child OU. They also cannot use F and G because they were filtered out by the parent OU. They cannot be granted back by the child SCP; child SCPs can only filter the permissions they receive from the parent SCP.

AWS Organizations attaches a default SCP named "FullAWSAccess to every root, OU, and account. This default SCP allows all services and actions, enabling any new child OU or account to inherit the permissions of the parent root or OU. If you detach the default policy, you must replace it with a policy that specifies the permissions that you want to allow in that OU or account.

For more information about how Organizations policies permissions work, see Using Service Control Policies in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.

        • Id (string) --

          The unique identifier (ID) of a handshake. The originating account creates the ID when it initiates the handshake.

          The regex pattern for handshake ID string requires "h-" followed by from 8 to 32 lower-case letters or digits.

        • Arn (string) --

              The type of party.

        • State (string) --

          The current state of the handshake. Use the state to trace the flow of the handshake through the process from its creation to its acceptance. The meaning of each of the valid values is as follows:

          • REQUESTED: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some handshake types) and not all recipients have responded yet. The request stays in this state until all recipients respond.

          • OPEN: This handshake was sent to multiple recipients (applicable to only some policy types) and all recipients have responded, allowing the originator to complete the handshake action.

          • CANCELED: This handshake is no longer active because it was canceled by the originating account.

          • ACCEPTED: This handshake is complete because it has been accepted by the recipient.

          • DECLINED: This handshake is no longer active because it was declined by the recipient account.

            Contains additional data that is needed to process a handshake.

            • Value (string) --

              The information that is passed to the other party in the handshake. The format of the value string must match the requirements of the specified type.

            • Type (string) --

              The type of information being passed, specifying how the value is to be interpreted by the other party:

              • ACCOUNT - Specifies an AWS account ID number.

              • ORGANIZATION - Specifies an organization ID number.

              • EMAIL - Specifies the email address that is associated with the account that receives the handshake.

              When needed, contains an additional array of HandshakeResource objects.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If present, this value indicates that there is more output 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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If present, this value indicates that there is more output 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.

LeaveOrganization (new) Link ¶

Removes a member account from its parent organization. This version of the operation is performed by the account that wants to leave. To remove a member account as a user in the master account, use RemoveAccountFromOrganization instead.

This operation can be called only from a member account in the organization.

CreateAccount (new) Link ¶

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. If you want to check the status of the request later, you need the OperationId response element from this operation to provide as a parameter to the DescribeCreateAccountStatus operation.

AWS Organizations preconfigures the new member account with a role (named OrganizationAccountAccessRole by default) that grants administrator permissions to the new 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.

For more information about creating accounts, see Creating an AWS Account in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.

This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.list_parents(
    ChildId='string',
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123
)
type ChildId:

string

param ChildId:

[REQUIRED]

The unique identifier (ID) of the OU or account whose parent containers you want to list. Do not specify a root.

The regex pattern for a child ID string requires one of the following:

  • Account: a string that consists of exactly 12 digits.

  • Organizational unit (OU): a string that begins with "ou-" followed by from 4 to 32 lower-case letters or digits (the ID of the root that contains the OU) followed by a second "-" dash and from 8 to 32 additional lower-case letters or digits.

type NextToken:

string

param NextToken:

Use this parameter if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request that indicates that there is more output available. Set it to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

type MaxResults:

integer

param MaxResults:

(Optional) Use this to limit the number of results you want included in 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.

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 lower-case 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 lower-case letters or digits (the ID of the root that the OU is in) followed by a second "-" dash and from 8 to 32 additional lower-case letters or digits.

type Filter:

string

param Filter:

[REQUIRED]

The type of policy that you want to include in the returned list.

type NextToken:

string

param NextToken:

Use this parameter if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request that indicates that there is more output available. Set it to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

type MaxResults:

integer

param MaxResults:

(Optional) Use this to limit the number of results you want included in 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.

EnableAllFeatures (new) Link ¶

Enables all features in an organization. This enables the use of organization policies that can restrict the services and actions that can be called in each account. Until you enable all features, you have access only to consolidated billing, and you can't use any of the advanced account administration features that AWS Organizations supports. For more information, see Enabling All Features in Your Organization in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

After all invited member accounts accept the handshake, you finalize the feature set change by accepting the handshake that contains "Action": "ENABLE_ALL_FEATURES". This completes the change.

After you enable all features in your organization, the master account in the organization can apply policies on all member accounts. These policies can restrict what users and even administrators in those accounts can do. The master account can apply policies that prevent accounts from leaving the organization. Ensure that your account administrators are aware of this.

This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.
