ListPolicies - Amazon Organizations
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

ListPolicies

Retrieves the list of all policies in an organization of a specified type.

Note

Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a List* operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

This operation can be called only from the organization's management account or by a member account that is a delegated administrator for an Amazon service.

Request Syntax

{ "Filter": "string", "MaxResults": number, "NextToken": "string" }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Filter

Specifies the type of policy that you want to include in the response. You must specify one of the following values:

Type: String

Valid Values: SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY | TAG_POLICY | BACKUP_POLICY | AISERVICES_OPT_OUT_POLICY

Required: Yes

MaxResults

The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Organizations might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 20.

Required: No

NextToken

The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 100000.

Pattern: [\s\S]*

Required: No

Response Syntax

{ "NextToken": "string", "Policies": [ { "Arn": "string", "AwsManaged": boolean, "Description": "string", "Id": "string", "Name": "string", "Type": "string" } ] }

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

NextToken

If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 100000.

Pattern: [\s\S]*

Policies

A list of policies that match the filter criteria in the request. The output list doesn't include the policy contents. To see the content for a policy, see DescribePolicy.

Type: Array of PolicySummary objects

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.
