```
    using System;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Amazon.Organizations;

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To attach a policy to a root, OU, or account**  
**Example 1**  
The following example shows how to attach a service control policy (SCP) to an OU:  

```
aws organizations attach-policy
                --policy-id p-examplepolicyid111
                --target-id ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid111
```
**Example 2**  
The following example shows how to attach a service control policy directly to an account:  

```
aws organizations attach-policy
                --policy-id p-examplepolicyid111
                --target-id 333333333333
```
