• scope (dict) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The wrapper that contains the Amazon Web Services accounts that are in scope for the assessment.

  Note

  You no longer need to specify which Amazon Web Services are in scope when you create or update an assessment. Audit Manager infers the services in scope by examining your assessment controls and their data sources, and then mapping this information to the relevant Amazon Web Services.

  If an underlying data source changes for your assessment, we automatically update the services scope as needed to reflect the correct Amazon Web Services. This ensures that your assessment collects accurate and comprehensive evidence about all of the relevant services in your AWS environment.

  • awsAccounts (list) –

    The Amazon Web Services accounts that are included in the scope of the assessment.

    • (dict) –

      The wrapper of Amazon Web Services account details, such as account ID or email address.

    The Amazon Web Services services that are included in the scope of the assessment.

    Warning

    This API parameter is no longer supported. If you use this parameter to specify one or more Amazon Web Services, Audit Manager ignores this input. Instead, the value for awsServices will show as empty.

    • (dict) –

      An Amazon Web Service such as Amazon S3 or CloudTrail.

      For an example of how to find an Amazon Web Service name and how to define it in your assessment scope, see the following:

      • Finding an Amazon Web Service name to use in your assessment scope
