# List organization Actions policies

`GET /orgs/{org}/actions/policies`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.github.com`
- URL: `https://api.github.com/orgs/{org}/actions/policies`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/github/apis/rest/docs/orgs/:org/actions/policies/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

List all Actions policies for an organization.

## Path parameters

- `org` string, required

## Query parameters

- `per_page` integer
- `page` integer
- `has_parents` boolean

## Response `200`

Response

- object
  - `total_count` integer, required: The total number of Actions policies.
  - `policies` ActionsPolicy[], required: An array of Actions policies.
    - `id` integer, required: The ID of the policy
    - `name` string, required: The name of the policy
    - `target` 'actions', required: The target of the policy
    - `source_type` 'Repository' | 'Organization' | 'Enterprise', required: The type of the source of the policy
    - `source` string, required: The name of the source
    - `enforcement` 'disabled' | 'active' | 'evaluate', required: The enforcement level of the ruleset. `evaluate` allows admins to test rules before enforcing them. Admins can view insights on the Rule Insights page (`evaluate` is only available with GitHub Enterprise).
    - `conditions` union: When workflow path targeting is available, detailed responses represent an omitted stored workflow condition as `workflow_path` with `include` set to `["~ALL"]` and `exclude` set to `[]`. When workflow path targeting is unavailable, an omitted stored condition remains omitted.
      - union: Conditions for a repository Actions policy. The object may be empty to preserve or use the default workflow targeting, or contain only `workflow_path`.
        - object
        - object: Parameters for an Actions policy workflow path condition. Omitting `workflow_path` when creating a policy targets all workflows without storing an explicit condition. Omitting it when updating a policy preserves the existing workflow targeting. For new or changed workflow conditions, the API requires at least one included or excluded pattern. This is validated server-side rather than by this schema, which can also describe existing stored conditions.
          - `workflow_path` object, required
            - `include` string[], required: Array of workflow file paths or glob patterns to include. An empty array includes all workflows not matched by an excluded pattern. Use `~ALL` by itself to include all workflows. `~ALL` cannot be combined with other included patterns.
            - `exclude` string[], required: Array of workflow file paths or glob patterns to exclude. The condition will not pass if any of these patterns match. `~ALL` is not allowed in this array.
      - union: Conditions for an organization Actions policy. The conditions object should contain one of `repository_name`, `repository_id`, or `repository_property`, and may also contain `workflow_path`.
        - object: Parameters for an Actions policy workflow path condition. Omitting `workflow_path` when creating a policy targets all workflows without storing an explicit condition. Omitting it when updating a policy preserves the existing workflow targeting. For new or changed workflow conditions, the API requires at least one included or excluded pattern. This is validated server-side rather than by this schema, which can also describe existing stored conditions.
          - `repository_name` object, required
            - `include` string[]: Array of repository names or patterns to include. One of these patterns must match for the condition to pass. Also accepts `~ALL` to include all repositories.
            - `exclude` string[]: Array of repository names or patterns to exclude. The condition will not pass if any of these patterns match.
            - `protected` boolean: Whether renaming of target repositories is prevented.
          - `workflow_path` object
            - `include` string[], required: Array of workflow file paths or glob patterns to include. An empty array includes all workflows not matched by an excluded pattern. Use `~ALL` by itself to include all workflows. `~ALL` cannot be combined with other included patterns.
