ListPolicies

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

Note

When calling List* operations, always check the NextToken response parameter value, even if you receive an empty result set. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when more results are available. Continue making requests until NextToken returns null. A null NextToken value indicates that you have retrieved all available results.

You can only call this operation from the management account or a member account that is a delegated administrator.
