See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/organizations_list_parents/ for full documentation.

Usage

organizations_list_parents(ChildId, NextToken = NULL, MaxResults = NULL)

Arguments

ChildId

[required] ID for the OU or account whose parent containers you want to list. Don't specify a root.

The regex pattern for a child ID string requires one of the following:

  • Account - A string that consists of exactly 12 digits.

  • Organizational unit (OU) - A string that begins with "ou-" followed by from 4 to 32 lowercase letters or digits (the ID of the root that contains the OU). This string is followed by a second "-" dash and from 8 to 32 additional lowercase letters or digits.

NextToken

The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

MaxResults

The maximum number of items to return in the response. If more results exist than the specified MaxResults value, a token is included in the response so that you can retrieve the remaining results.
