Listing Policies

Function

This API is used to list all policies in an organization. If a resource ID (such as an OU ID or account ID) is specified, this API will return a list of policies attached to the resource. This API can be called only from the organization's management account or from a member account that is a delegated administrator for a cloud service.

Authorization Information

Each account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions.

If you are using role/policy-based authorization, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions for details on the required permissions.

If you are using identity policy-based authorization, the following identity policy-based permissions are required.
