Before we understand SCP lets check what AWS Organizations is -
AWS Organization is a service that lets you consolidate multiple AWS accounts into a single organization. This allows you to manage all accounts with in the organization in one place.
AWS Organization makes billing and permissions easier and allows fort the creation of managed accounts. Accounts are organized hierarchically, which provides better security and compliance controls.
This is Free service !! AWS Org.
You can convert standard AWS account into Master account and other AWS account would act as Member accounts. Its a hierarchical structure and at the top we have ROOT container which is created when AWS Organization is created.
There is only one Root container and applying policies at the root level would applicable to all OUs and accounts under it or below.
An OU is an Organizational Unit where you can group AWS accounts under a single OU.
Attaching policies at an OU level which would also apply to all accounts part of OUs.
AWS Organization features :
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_introduction.html
Switch Role allows management of resources across AWS accounts using single ID and password. you can switch role after AWS admin configures a role and give you the account and role details.
You can use Account Switch role functionality to manage it from same console , you just need to add that by adding account and role (organizationAccountAccessRole).
Now lets talk about SCP Service Control Policies -
Service Control Policies (SCP) : SCP when applied directly or indirectly to AWS accounts define what actions can be performed on what services within that account. The ACTIONS and SERVICES can NEVER exceed those specified by any applicable SCPs.
SCP act as a way of limiting permissions in member accounts.
SCP do not have any effect on Master account but for all other accounts they impact IAM and the ROOT user.
SCP contain explicit ALLOW or DENY statements but these don't GRANT permissions , they only say those permissions are permitted. Anything not explicitly allowed is denied.
If multiple SCPs apply to an account , only the overlap of those SCPs is permitted & deny always wins.
SCP Policy - we can directly apply to account or root container and it is applicable what all account are inherited in the Hierarchy and It goes downwards.
Master account should be ignored because SCP is not applicable to Master account.
Use Master account for billing purpose only do not put resources in it because no SCP applies to it.
