list-create-account-status

Description

Lists the account creation requests that match the specified status that is currently being tracked for the organization.

Note

Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon Web Services service.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-create-account-status is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: CreateAccountStatuses

Options

--states (list)

A list of one or more states that you want included in the response. If this parameter isn't present, all requests are included in the response.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

Where valid values are:
  IN_PROGRESS
  SUCCEEDED
  FAILED

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To retrieve a list of the account creation requests made in the current organization

The following example shows how to request a list of account creation requests for an organization that have completed successfully:

aws organizations list-create-account-status --states SUCCEEDED

The output includes an array of objects with information about each request.

{
        "CreateAccountStatuses": [
                {
                        "AccountId": "444444444444",
                        "AccountName": "Developer Test Account",
                        "CompletedTimeStamp": 1481835812.143,
                        "Id": "car-examplecreateaccountrequestid111",
                        "RequestedTimeStamp": 1481829432.531,
                        "State": "SUCCEEDED"
                }
        ]
}

Example 2: To retrieve a list of the in progress account creation requests made in the current organization

The following example gets a list of in-progress account creation requests for an organization:

aws organizations list-create-account-status --states IN_PROGRESS

The output includes an array of objects with information about each request.

{
        "CreateAccountStatuses": [
                {
                  "State": "IN_PROGRESS",
                  "Id": "car-examplecreateaccountrequestid111",
                  "RequestedTimeStamp": 1481829432.531,
                  "AccountName": "Production Account"
                }
        ]
}

Output

CreateAccountStatuses -> (list)

A list of objects with details about the requests. Certain elements, such as the accountId number, are present in the output only after the account has been successfully created.

(structure)

Contains the status about a CreateAccount or CreateGovCloudAccount request to create an Amazon Web Services account or an Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) account in an organization.

Id -> (string)

The unique identifier (ID) that references this request. You get this value from the response of the initial CreateAccount request to create the account.

The regex pattern for a create account request ID string requires "car-" followed by from 8 to 32 lowercase letters or digits.

AccountName -> (string)

The account name given to the account when it was created.

State -> (string)

The status of the asynchronous request to create an Amazon Web Services account.

RequestedTimestamp -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the request was made for the account creation.

CompletedTimestamp -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the account was created and the request completed.

AccountId -> (string)

If the account was created successfully, the unique identifier (ID) of the new account.

The regex pattern for an account ID string requires exactly 12 digits.

GovCloudAccountId -> (string)

If the account was created successfully, the unique identifier (ID) of the new account in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region.

FailureReason -> (string)

If the request failed, a description of the reason for the failure.

  • ACCOUNT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: The account couldn't be created because you reached the limit on the number of accounts in your organization.
  • CONCURRENT_ACCOUNT_MODIFICATION: You already submitted a request with the same information.
  • EMAIL_ALREADY_EXISTS: The account could not be created because another Amazon Web Services account with that email address already exists.
  • FAILED_BUSINESS_VALIDATION: The Amazon Web Services account that owns your organization failed to receive business license validation.
  • GOVCLOUD_ACCOUNT_ALREADY_EXISTS: The account in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region could not be created because this Region already includes an account with that email address.
  • IDENTITY_INVALID_BUSINESS_VALIDATION: The Amazon Web Services account that owns your organization can't complete business license validation because it doesn't have valid identity data.
  • INVALID_ADDRESS: The account could not be created because the address you provided is not valid.
  • INVALID_EMAIL: The account could not be created because the email address you provided is not valid.
  • INVALID_PAYMENT_INSTRUMENT: The Amazon Web Services account that owns your organization does not have a supported payment method associated with the account. Amazon Web Services does not support cards issued by financial institutions in Russia or Belarus. For more information, see Managing your Amazon Web Services payments .
  • INTERNAL_FAILURE: The account could not be created because of an internal failure. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact Amazon Web Services Customer Support.
  • MISSING_BUSINESS_VALIDATION: The Amazon Web Services account that owns your organization has not received Business Validation.

  • PENDING_BUSINESS_VALIDATION: The Amazon Web Services account that owns your organization is still in the process of completing business license validation.
  • UNKNOWN_BUSINESS_VALIDATION: The Amazon Web Services account that owns your organization has an unknown issue with business license validation.

NextToken -> (string)

If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null .
