Cloud Config:Modify a rule

Last Updated:Jun 16, 2026

You can modify a rule if it no longer meets your compliance requirements.

Background information

If you have created a compliance package, you can also modify rules directly within the package. For more information, see Modify a compliance package.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Cloud Config console.

  2. Optional. In the upper-left corner, select an account group.

    This operation is required only if you are using a management account of a resource directory. Otherwise, you do not need to perform the operation.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Compliance & Audit > Rules.

  4. On the Rules page, find the rule that you want to modify and click Modify in the Actions column.

  5. On the Set Basic Properties page, configure the rule name, parameters, risk level, trigger, and description, and then click Next.

  6. On the Set Effective Scope page, specify the resource type, and then click Next.

    For a rule based on a managed rule, you can configure the Excluded Resource IDs, Effective for the designated resource groups, Effective for designated regions, and Effective for designated tags parameters to narrow the scope of applicable resources.

  7. On the Set Correction page, click Submit.

    You can enable Settings Remediation and configure template remediation or custom remediation for the rule. For more information about remediation, see Overview of remediation settings.
