Allow Duplicate Account Names when previous account is suspended

Open SizZiKe opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the outcome you'd like

AFT would allow duplicate account names if another account with the same name has been decommissioned and whose status is SUSPENDED in organizations.

Is your feature request related to a problem you are currently experiencing? If so, please describe.

A deprovisioned account must reside within an AWS Organization for 90 days during the post-closure period. As far as I can tell, there is no limitation within AWS Organizations to have duplicate account names, and AFT is imposing this in the account request

Additional context

  • AWS Organizations allows multiple accounts with the same name
  • as far as I can tell, there is no use of account name as a primary key within AFT
