Move or copy policies to a policy set in Citrix DaaS using C# code

Learn from the following example to move or copy policies to a policy set in your Citrix DaaS site using C# code.

public static async Task<string> MovePoliciesToPolicySet(
    string customerid,
    string siteid,
    string policySetGuid,
    string bearerToken,
    IList<string> policyGuids)

        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Citrix-CustomerId", customerid);
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Citrix-InstanceId", siteid);
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"CWSAuth Bearer={bearerToken}");

        var jsonBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(policyGuids, new JsonSerializerSettings
