# List Policies

GET https://app.polytomic.com/api/permissions/policies

Lists all policies in the caller's organization.

Each policy binds one or more roles to a set of resources, controlling what
actions members with those roles can perform on those resources.

To inspect a specific policy in detail, use
[`GET /api/permissions/policies/{id}`](../../../api-reference/permissions/policies/get).
