# pingcli pingone verify verify-policies template

Generate a verify policy JSON template

## Synopsis

Generate a JSON skeleton template for verify policy create or replace bodies.

The template includes all optional nested configuration blocks: governmentId, facialComparison, liveness, email, phone, transaction, and voice. Remove the blocks you do not need before passing the body to create or replace.

Note: the "voice" field is deprecated in the PingOne Verify API. Remove it from your --from-file bodies unless you have an explicit requirement for voice verification. The template includes it for completeness.

Server-set read-only fields (id, createdAt, updatedAt, environment, \_links) are excluded from the template. User-settable optional fields (description, default, and all nested config blocks) are included with zero values.

```
pingcli pingone verify verify-policies template [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  # Generate a template and save to a file
  pingcli pingone verify verify-policies template > body.json

  # Edit the template — fill in the required name and at least one verification
  # block with valid enum values, then pass the body to create or replace
Use the JSON template as a starting point:
  1. Run the template command to generate the body skeleton.
  2. Edit the file, replacing placeholder values with real data.
  3. Feed the edited file back to the create or replace action via --from-file.

Example workflow:
  pingcli pingone verify verify-policies template > body.json
  # edit body.json
  pingcli pingone verify verify-policies create --from-file body.json
```

## Options

  -h, --help                 help for template
