Disabling a Policy Type in a Root

Function

This API is used to disable a policy type in a root. A policy of a specific type can be attached to entities in a root only if that policy type is enabled in the root. After you call this API, you can no longer attach any policies of the specified type to that root or any OU or account in 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.
