To retrieve a list of all policies in an organization of a certain type

The following example shows you how to get a list of SCPs, as specified by the filter parameter:

aws organizations list-policies --filter SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY

The output includes a list of policies with summary information:

        "Policies": [
                {

To get information about a policy

The following example shows how to request information about a policy:

aws organizations describe-policy --policy-id p-examplepolicyid111

The output includes a policy object that contains details about the policy:
