Exporting Amazon Web Services account details for your organization

With Amazon Organizations, management account users and delegated administrators for an organization can export a .csv file with all account details within an organization. As a result, organization administrators can easily view accounts and filter by status: ACTIVE, SUSPENDED, or PENDING. If your organization has many accounts, the .csv file download option provides an easy way to view and sort account details in a spreadsheet.

Previously, the only way to view accounts was to look at the account hierarchy or list display in the Amazon Organizations console.

Note

Only principals in the management account can download the account list.

Exporting a list of all Amazon Web Services accounts in your organization

When you sign in to the organization's management account, you can get a list of all accounts that are part of your organization as a .csv file. The list contains individual account details; however, it doesn't specify to which organizational unit (OU) the account belongs.

The .csv file contains the following information for each account:

  • Account ID - Numeric account identifier. For example: 123456789012

  • ARN - Amazon Resource Name for the account. For example: arn:aws-cn:organizations::123456789012account/o-o1gb0d1234/123456789012

  • Email - Email address associated with the account. For example: marymajor@example.com

  • Name - Account name provided by account creator. For example: stage testing account

  • Status - Account status within the organization. Value can be PENDING, ACTIVE or SUSPENDED.

  • Joined method - Specifies how the account was created. Value can be INVITED or CREATED.

  • Joined timestamp - Date and time the account joined the organization.

Minimum permissions

To export a .csv file with all member accounts in your organization, you must have the following permissions:

  • organizations:DescribeOrganization

  • organizations:ListAccounts
