Examples for baseline API usage

This section contains examples of input and output parameters for the AWS Control Tower baseline APIs.

`DisableBaseline`

For more information about this API operation, see DisableBaseline.

DisableBaseline input:


{
    "enabledBaselineIdentifier": "arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2:123456789012:enabledbaseline/AB12CD34EF56GH789"
}

DisableBaseline output:


{
    "operationIdentifier": "58f12232-26be-4735-a3e9-dd30d90f021f"
}

aws controltower disable-baseline \
    --enabled-baseline-identifier arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2:123456789012:enabledbaseline/AB12CD34EF56GH789 \
    --region us-west-2

`EnableBaseline`

For more information about this API operation, see EnableBaseline.

EnableBaseline input:


{
    "baselineIdentifier": "arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2::baseline:17BSJV3IGJ2QSGA2",
    "targetIdentifier": "arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:ou/o-kgj0txdhpa/ou-r9mj-4j3mzjql",
    "baselineVersion": "3.0",
    "parameters": [
        {
            "key": "IdentityCenterEnabledBaselineArn",
            "value": "arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2:123456789012:enabledbaseline/XAHCR4CJTSI4W07MZ"
        }
    ]
}

EnableBaseline output, returning a new resource:


{
    "operationIdentifier": "58f12232-26be-4735-a3e9-dd30d90f021f",
    "arn": "arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2:123456789012:enabledbaseline/XAGF7TNOHRD7ES5VV"
}

EnableBaseline CLI example:

This example shows enabling a baseline for an AWS Organizations organization that has the landing zone opted-in to AWS IAM Identity Center access, managed by AWS Control Tower. To retrieve your Identity Center EnabledBaseline identifier, you can call the ListEnabledBaselines API, filtering on the Identity Center baseline: (arn:aws:controltower:Region::baseline/LN25R72TTG6IGPTQ)


aws controltower list-enabled-baselines \
    --filter baselineIdentifiers=arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2::baseline/LN25R72TTG6IGPTQ \
    --region us-west-2

The response will show the EnabledBaseline detail, which shows its identifier.


{
    "enabledBaselines": [
        {
            "arn": "arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2:123456789012:enabledbaseline/XAHXS7P6C4I453EZC",
            "baselineIdentifier": "arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2::baseline/LN25R72TTG6IGPTQ",
            "targetIdentifier": "arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:account/o-aq21sw43de5/123456789012",
            "statusSummary": {
                "status": "SUCCEEDED"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Note

Make note of the ARN value from the response, and pass this value as a parameter to enable the default baseline.


aws controltower enable-baseline \
    --baseline-identifier arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2::baseline/17BSJV3IGJ2QSGA2 \
    --baseline-version 3.0 \
    --target-identifier arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:ou/o-aq21sw43de5/ou-po90-lk87jh65 \

    --region us-west-2

For an organization with the landing zone opted-out from AWS Control Tower management of IAM Identity Center, enable the baseline without the parameter.


aws controltower enable-baseline \
    --baseline-identifier arn:aws:controltower:us-west-2::baseline/17BSJV3IGJ2QSGA2 \
    --baseline-version 3.0 \
    --target-identifier arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:ou/o-aq21sw43de5/ou-po90-lk87jh65 \

ListBaselines CLI example:


aws controltower list-baselines \

`ListEnabledBaselines`

The ListEnabledBaselines API has an optional parameter that allows you to view the baselines as they apply to the accounts that are members of an OU. The examples that follow show some CLI commands you can use to view the baselines for an account. AWS Control Tower refers to these baselines, which are enabled on the OU, but apply to each account within the OU, as child enabled baselines, because they derive their governance configuration from the baselines that are applied on the OU.

For more information about this API operation, see ListEnabledBaselines.

ListEnabledBaselines input to show child enabled baselines:


aws controltower list-enabled-baselines --include-children

ListEnabledBaselines output to view child enabled baselines:


{
    "enabledBaselines": [
        {
            "arn": "arn:aws:controltower:us-east-1:666355521292:enabledbaseline/XO2UQ1PC6BB5085S5",

        }
]

Note

In the previous example, the parentIdentifier field shows the enabled baseline of the parent OU for this child enabled baseline.

View all baselines applied on a specific target (OU or account):


aws controltower list-enabled-baselines \
    --filter '{
        "targetIdentifiers": ["TARGET_ARN"]
    }

View all OUs that have a specific baseline:


aws controltower list-enabled-baselines \
    --filter '{
        "baselineIdentifiers": ["BASELINE_ARN"]
    }'

View all OUs and accounts that have a specific baseline:


aws controltower list-enabled-baselines \
    --filter '{
        "baselineIdentifiers": ["BASELINE_ARN"]
    }'  \
    --include-children

View all accounts in an OU that have Baseline B enabled:


### First fetch the enabled baseline record for Baseline B on the OU
 aws controltower list-enabled-baselines \
    --filter '{
        "targetIdentifiers": ["OU_TARGET_ARN"],
        "baselineIdentifiers": ["BASELINE_ARN_FOR_BASELINE_B"]
    }'
    
### Call ListEnabled baseline to fetch all accounts that have their parent as the enabled baseline record on the OU
aws controltower list-enabled-baselines \
    --filter '{
        "parentIdentifiers": ["ENABLED_BASELINE_ARN_FOR_OU"]
    }' \
    --include-children

More about child enabled baselines

You can use GetEnabledBaseline API to view detailed information about a specific child enabled baseline
You can use the GetBaselineOperation API to view an operation performed on the child enabled baseline
You cannot call any write APIs, such as EnableBaseline, UpdateEnabledBaseline, ResetEnabledBaseline or DisableBaseline, on a child enabled baseline directly.
Child enabled baseline resources can be modified by means of the AWS Control Tower service only, through operations that are performed on the parent OU, or by means of Account Factory.
