Enabling a Policy Type for a Root

Function

This API is used to enable a policy type for a root of an organization. After you enable a policy type for the root, you can attach the policies of this type to the root, or any OU or account under the root. This is an asynchronous request executed in the background. You can use ListRoots to view the status of the policy types for the specified root. This API can be called only from the organization's management account.

Debugging

You can debug this API through automatic authentication in API Explorer or use the SDK sample code generated by API Explorer.
