Resource Management:Disable a resource directory

Impacts

• The organizational structure and access control policies created in this resource directory are cleared.

• Data in trusted services that are activated is cleared. For example, if you create a multi-account trail in ActionTrail, the data of the multi-account trail in ActionTrail will be cleared after you disable your resource directory.

• Features that depend on the resource directory in trusted services may be unavailable. For example, the multi-account permission management feature of CloudSSO is available only when the resource directory is enabled.

Prerequisites

• The resource directory that you want to disable does not contain members.

  • You can remove members of the cloud account type from the resource directory. For more information, see Remove a member.

  • If a member of the resource account type has resources and you may use the member in the future, we recommend that you switch the member from a resource account to a cloud account and remove the member from the resource directory. For more information, see Switch a resource account to a cloud account.

  • If a member of the resource account type is no longer used, delete the member from the resource directory. For more information, see Enable or disable the member deletion feature and Delete a member of the resource account type.

    Warning

    After a member of the resource account type is deleted, it cannot be retrieved. Therefore, proceed with caution.

• The resource directory that you want to disable contains only the Root folder.

  For more information, see Delete a folder.

• The Control Policy feature is disabled.

  For more information, see Disable the Control Policy feature.
