Enabling or Disabling the Tag Policy Type

You can enable or disable the tag policy type from the organization' management account, but not from any delegated administrator.

Enabling the Tag Policy Type

Before you can create and attach tag policies to the OUs and accounts in your organization, you must enable the tag policy type. The only way to enable the tag policy type is by using the organization's management account.

  1. Log in to the management console as the organization administrator or using the management account, and navigate to the Organizations console.
  2. On the Policies page, click Enable in the Operation column of tag policies.

  3. In the displayed dialog box, select the check box and click OK.

Disabling the Tag Policy Type

If you no longer want to use tag policies in your organization, you can disable the tag policy type only from the organization's management account.

  • After the tag policy type is disabled in an organization, all tag policies are automatically detached from all OUs and accounts in the organization. However, the policies are not deleted.
  • If you disable the tag policy type, attachments of tag policies to entities will be lost. If you later re-enable the tag policy type, you must use the management account to re-attach tag policies to the entities.
  1. Log in to the management console as the organization administrator or using the management account, and navigate to the Organizations console.
  2. On the Policies page, click Disable in the Operation column of tag policies.
