Listing and getting policies

This page provides code examples that demonstrate how to list and get policies.

Before you begin

Complete the Setting up the Policy API.

List policies

The following example shows how to list organization policies using Python.

Important: The OAuth scopes specified in your application code used to create delegated credentials must be present in the authorized scopes list for domain-wide delegation in the Google Admin Console. A broader or more permissive scope won't work. If a scope requested by the application to create delegated credentials is not authorized in domain-wide delegation, the application receives an unauthorized_client error.

Quota

For each Google Cloud project, Cloud Identity Policy API supports one query per second (QPS). For each customer, Cloud Identity Policy API supports one QPS in total, even if the customer creates multiple Google Cloud projects.

Quota increase is not supported.
