# DescribeOrganizationConfigRules
Returns a list of organization AWS Config rules.
**Note**
When you specify the limit and the next token, you receive a paginated response.
Limit and next token are not applicable if you specify organization AWS Config rule names. It is only applicable, when you request all the organization AWS Config rules.
*For accounts within an organization*
If you deploy an organizational rule or conformance pack in an organization administrator account, and then establish a delegated administrator and deploy an organizational rule or conformance pack in the delegated administrator account, you won't be able to see the organizational rule or conformance pack in the organization administrator account from the delegated administrator account or see the organizational rule or conformance pack in the delegated administrator account from organization administrator account. The `DescribeOrganizationConfigRules` and `DescribeOrganizationConformancePacks` APIs can only see and interact with the organization-related resource that were deployed from within the account calling those APIs.

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).
** InvalidLimitException **
The specified limit is outside the allowable range.
HTTP Status Code: 400
** InvalidNextTokenException **
The specified next token is not valid. Specify the `nextToken` string that was returned in the previous response to get the next page of results.
HTTP Status Code: 400
** NoSuchOrganizationConfigRuleException **
The AWS Config rule in the request is not valid. Verify that the rule is an organization AWS Config Process Check rule, that the rule name is correct, and that valid Amazon Resouce Names (ARNs) are used before trying again.
HTTP Status Code: 400
** OrganizationAccessDeniedException **
For `PutConfigurationAggregator` API, you can see this exception for the following reasons:
+ No permission to call `EnableAWSServiceAccess` API
+ The configuration aggregator cannot be updated because your AWS Organization management account or the delegated administrator role changed. Delete this aggregator and create a new one with the current AWS Organization.
+ The configuration aggregator is associated with a previous AWS Organization and AWS Config cannot aggregate data with current AWS Organization. Delete this aggregator and create a new one with the current AWS Organization.
+ You are not a registered delegated administrator for AWS Config with permissions to call `ListDelegatedAdministrators` API. Ensure that the management account registers delagated administrator for AWS Config service principal name before the delegated administrator creates an aggregator.
For all `OrganizationConfigRule` and `OrganizationConformancePack` APIs, AWS Config throws an exception if APIs are called from member accounts. All APIs must be called from organization management account.
HTTP Status Code: 400
