-
Install the Citrix PowerShell SDK and connect to the cloud API as explained in the Citrix blog Getting started with PowerShell automation for Citrix Cloud.

Run the command
Get-BrokerAccessPolicyRule.A list of all the broker access policies for all the delivery groups which are present is displayed.
