create-members

Description

Creates a member association in Security Hub between the specified accounts and the account used to make the request, which is the administrator account. If you are integrated with Organizations, then the administrator account is designated by the organization management account.

CreateMembers is always used to add accounts that are not organization members.

For accounts that are managed using Organizations, CreateMembers is only used in the following cases:

• Security Hub is not configured to automatically add new organization accounts.

• The account was disassociated or deleted in Security Hub.

This action can only be used by an account that has Security Hub enabled. To enable Security Hub, you can use the EnableSecurityHub operation.

For accounts that are not organization members, you create the account association and then send an invitation to the member account. To send the invitation, you use the InviteMembers operation. If the account owner accepts the invitation, the account becomes a member account in Security Hub.

Accounts that are managed using Organizations do not receive an invitation. They automatically become a member account in Security Hub.

• If the organization account does not have Security Hub enabled, then Security Hub and the default standards are automatically enabled. Note that Security Hub cannot be enabled automatically for the organization management account. The organization management account must enable Security Hub before the administrator account enables it as a member account.

• For organization accounts that already have Security Hub enabled, Security Hub does not make any other changes to those accounts. It does not change their enabled standards or controls.

A permissions policy is added that permits the administrator account to view the findings generated in the member account.

To remove the association between the administrator and member accounts, use the DisassociateFromMasterAccount or DisassociateMembers operation.

Synopsis

  create-members
--account-details <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--account-details (list)

The list of accounts to associate with the Security Hub administrator account. For each account, the list includes the account ID and optionally the email address.

(structure)

The details of an Amazon Web Services account.

AccountId -> (string)

The ID of an Amazon Web Services account.

Email -> (string)

The email of an Amazon Web Services account.

Shorthand Syntax:

AccountId=string,Email=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "AccountId": "string",
    "Email": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
