Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Auto-enable options

Each protection plan provides the following auto-enable options for organization accounts:

Enable for all accounts

Enable the feature for all active GuardDuty accounts in the organization. This includes new accounts that join the organization.

Enable for new accounts

This will apply to any new accounts when they are added to the organization.

Do not auto enable

The feature is not automatically enabled for organization accounts.

For the Foundational GuardDuty container, the auto-enable options use Amazon Organizations-specific wording:

  • Enable for all Amazon Organizations accounts – Enable GuardDuty for all active accounts in your Amazon Organizations.

  • Enable for new Amazon Organizations accounts – This will apply to any new accounts when they are added to your Amazon Organizations.
