Request Syntax

response = client.list_policies(
    policyStoreId='string',
    nextToken='string',
    maxResults=123,
    filter={
        'principal': {
            'unspecified': True|False,
            'identifier': {
                'entityType': 'string',
                'entityId': 'string'
            }
        },
        'resource': {
            'unspecified': True|False,
            'identifier': {
                'entityType': 'string',
                'entityId': 'string'

        },
        'policyType': 'STATIC'|'TEMPLATE_LINKED',
        'policyTemplateId': 'string'
    }
)

Parameters:

policyStoreId (string) –
[REQUIRED]

Specifies the ID of the policy store you want to list policies from.
nextToken (string) – Specifies that you want to receive the next page of results. Valid only if you received a NextToken response in the previous request. If you did, it indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value provided by the previous call’s NextToken response to request the next page of results.
maxResults (integer) –
Specifies the total number of results that you want included in each response. If additional items exist beyond the number you specify, the NextToken response element is returned with a value (not null). Include the specified value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next set of results. Note that the service 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.

If you do not specify this parameter, the operation defaults to 10 policies per response. You can specify a maximum of 50 policies per response.
filter (dict) –
Specifies a filter that limits the response to only policies that match the specified criteria. For example, you list only the policies that reference a specified principal.
- principal (dict) –
  
  Filters the output to only policies that reference the specified principal.
  
  Note
  This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: unspecified, identifier.
  - unspecified (boolean) –
    
    Used to indicate that a principal or resource is not specified. This can be used to search for policies that are not associated with a specific principal or resource.
  - identifier (dict) –
    
    The identifier of the entity. It can consist of either an EntityType and EntityId, a principal, or a resource.
    - entityType (string) – [REQUIRED]

      Example: "entityType":"typeName"
    - entityId (string) – [REQUIRED]
      
      The identifier of an entity.
      
      "entityId":"identifier"
- resource (dict) –
  
  Filters the output to only policies that reference the specified resource.

- nextToken (string) –
  
  If present, this value 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. This indicates that this is the last page of results.
- policies (list) –
  
  Lists all policies that are available in the specified policy store.
