Account Administration - Amazon Macie
URIHTTP methodsSchemasPropertiesSee also

Account Administration

The Account Administration resource provides access to the status and certain configuration settings for your Amazon Macie account.

You can use this resource to enable Macie for your AWS account and specify certain settings for your Macie account. When you enable Macie, the service generates a Macie session for your AWS account in the current AWS Region. The service also assigns a unique identifier to that session. A session is a resource that represents the Macie service for a specific AWS account in a specific Region. It enables Macie to become operational. An AWS account can have only one Macie session in each Region.

After you enable Macie, you can use this resource to review and update the status and certain configuration settings for your Macie account. This includes suspending (pausing) and later re-enabling Macie. If you suspend Macie, the service stops performing all activities for your account and it cancels all of your classification jobs. However, the service retains the session identifier, settings, and resources for your account. If your account is the Macie administrator account for an organization, you must remove all member accounts that are associated with your account before you suspend Macie.

If you want to disable Macie completely, you can use this resource to do so. If you disable Macie, the service stops performing all activities for your account. In addition, Macie permanently deletes all resources that it stores or maintains for you. This includes classification jobs, custom data identifiers, findings, and the session resource (and identifier) for your account. This doesn't include resources that Macie created and stored in other AWS services for you. These might include sensitive data discovery results in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), finding events in Amazon EventBridge, and findings in AWS Security Hub.

If you want to disable Macie and your account is the Macie administrator account for an organization, you must first:

  • Remove all member accounts that are associated with your administrator account.

  • Delete the associations between your administrator account and its member accounts.

If you want to disable Macie and your account is a Macie member account in an organization, you must first disassociate your account from its Macie administrator account.
