# Export details for all accounts in Amazon Organizations
<a name="orgs_manage_accounts_export"></a>

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 state: `PENDING_ACTIVATION`, `ACTIVE`, `SUSPENDED`, `PENDING_CLOSURE`, or `CLOSED`. If your organization has many accounts, the .csv file download option provides an easy way to view and sort account details in a spreadsheet. We recommend generating new CSV exports rather than using previously saved versions to maintain current account information.

**Important**  
We retired the account `Status` parameter in the `Accounts` object from the Amazon Organizations console on September 9, 2025. The account export file will now display the `State` parameter instead of the `Status` parameter. Any downstream processes using the exported file `Organization_accounts_information.csv` should be updated to use the `State` parameter instead of `Status`.

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

## Export a list of all Amazon Web Services accounts in your organization
<a name="orgs_manage_accounts_export_csv"></a>

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`.
+ **State** - Operational account state within the organization. Value can be `PENDING_ACTIVATION`, `ACTIVE`, `SUSPENDED`, `PENDING_CLOSURE`, or `CLOSED`.
+ **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`
