Resource Management:Disable Resource Directory

Impact

• Your data, including organizational relationships and Control Policies, will be permanently deleted.

• Data associated with enabled Trusted Services will be deleted. For example, if you created a multi-account trail in ActionTrail, disabling Resource Directory deletes that trail.

• Features in Trusted Services that rely on Resource Directory may stop working. For example, the multi-account permission management feature in CloudSSO requires Resource Directory.

Prerequisites

• The Resource Directory must not contain any Members.

  • You can directly remove Cloud Account Members from your Resource Directory. For more information, see Remove a Cloud Account Member.

  • If a Resource Account Member contains needed resources, convert it to a Cloud Account before removing it. For more information, see Convert a Resource Account to a Cloud Account.

  • You can directly delete Resource Account Members that you no longer need. For more information, see Enable or disable Member deletion and Delete a Resource Account Member.

    Warning

    You cannot recover a deleted Resource Account Member. This action is irreversible.

• The Resource Directory must only contain the Root Folder.

  For more information, see Delete a Folder.

• Control Policy must be disabled.

  For more information, see Disable Control Policy.

Procedure

1. Log on to the Resource Management console with a management account.
