My role has the built in AWS "AdministratorAccess" policy in the 083816131855 account.

When I try to enable Config by hand in eu-west-1 in the console, I get an error :

AWS Config cannot start recording because the delivery channel was not found.

In eu-west-2 it has created a delivery channel but not in eu-west-1 :

MaAl:aws-securityhub-multiaccount-scripts max [master] $ aws configservice describe-delivery-channels --region eu-west-2
{
    "DeliveryChannels": [
        {
            "name": "config-s3-delivery",
            "s3BucketName": "config-bucket-083816131855",
            "configSnapshotDeliveryProperties": {
                "deliveryFrequency": "TwentyFour_Hours"
            }
        }
    ]
}
MaAl:aws-securityhub-multiaccount-scripts max [master] $ aws configservice describe-delivery-channels --region eu-west-1
{
    "DeliveryChannels": []
}

If I take the DeliveryChannel json from eu-west-2, I can apply it to eu-west-1 with a put-delivery-channel CLI command.

And then enable config from the console.

I believe the cause of the problem is that you are not waiting for the AWSServiceRoleForConfig to be fully created before using it. IAM is a global service and it takes time for changes to replicate around the globe.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/troubleshoot_general.html

We recommend that you do not include such IAM changes in the critical, high-availability code paths of your application. Instead, make IAM changes in a separate initialization or setup routine that you run less frequently. Also, be sure to verify that the changes have been propagated before production workflows depend on them.

A loop through all accounts creating the role first and then doing the work would be a more reliable design.

Rerunning the script seems to be fixing it.
