Removes the specified account from the organization.
The removed account becomes a standalone account that isn't a member of
any organization. It's no longer subject to any policies and is
responsible for its own bill payments. The organization's management
account is no longer charged for any expenses accrued by the member
account after it's removed from the organization.
This operation can be called only from the organization's management
account. Member accounts can remove themselves with LeaveOrganization
instead.
You can remove an account from your organization only if the account
is configured with the information required to operate as a
standalone account. When you create an account in an organization
using the AWS Organizations console, API, or CLI commands, the
information required of standalone accounts is not automatically
collected. For an account that you want to make standalone, you must
choose a support plan, provide and verify the required contact
information, and provide a current payment method. AWS uses the
payment method to charge for any billable (not free tier) AWS
activity that occurs while the account isn't attached to an
organization. To remove an account that doesn't yet have this
information, you must sign in as the member account and follow the
steps at To leave an organization when all required account information has not yet been provided
in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
After the account leaves the organization, all tags that were
attached to the account object in the organization are deleted. AWS
accounts outside of an organization do not support tags.
