Editing or Deleting a Tag Policy

Scenarios

If a tag policy fails to manage or control resource tags effectively, you must modify the policy. If a specific policy is no longer necessary, it should be deleted.

The following describes how to edit and delete a tag policy.

You can edit or delete a tag policy as the organization administrator, but not as a delegated administrator.

Editing a Tag Policy

1. Log in to the Organizations console as an organization administrator or using the management account.
2. Access the Policies page, and click Tag policies.
3. Locate the target tag policy and click Modify in the Operation column. The Edit Tag Policy page is displayed.

5. Edit the policy content if needed. You can choose either visual editor or JSON to edit the policy.
6. Click Save in the lower right corner. If the tag policy is updated successfully, it will be added to the list.

Deleting a Tag Policy

1. Log in to the Organizations console as an organization administrator or using the management account.
2. Access the Policies page, and click Tag policies.
3. Locate the tag policy you want to delete and click Delete in the Operation column.
4. Click OK in the displayed dialog box.
