Remove organization policies

Warning

We're currently releasing our new experience to a limited number of customers. You might not be able to access this experience yet.

After you've activated advanced features, you can modify the Resource Control Policies (RCPs) and Service Control Policies (SCPs) to change the governance of your Amazon organization. Certain Amazon managed organizational policies are removed when you activate advanced features. For more information, see Managed policies for your organization. The following information is only for Amazon organizations that use Amazon Builder ID as the identity source. If you use another source, follow the steps in Updating a policy.

To modify a service control policy (SCP)

  1. Open Amazon Settings at https://settings.aws.com.

  2. In the main navigation pane, choose Projects.

  3. In Manage this organization, choose Manage policies.

    This will open the Amazon Organizations console. This is a task that requires root-level permission.

  4. Choose the Service control policy page.

  5. Choose the name of the policy that you want to update.

  6. On the policy's detail page, choose Edit policy.

  7. Make any or all of the following changes:

    • You can rename the policy by entering a new name in Policy name.

    • You can change the description by entering new text in Policy description.

    • You can edit the policy text by editing the policy in JSON format in the left pane. Alternatively, you can choose a statement in the editor on the right, and also alter its elements by using the controls. For more details about each control, see the Creating an SCP procedure earlier in this topic.

  8. When you're finished, choose Save changes.
