Defaults to None. active (bool or None, optional) – Find LegalHoldMemberships by their active state. True returns active LegalHoldMemberships, False returns inactive LegalHoldMemberships, None returns all LegalHoldMemberships regardless of state. Defaults to True.
Returns:	An object that iterates over `py42.response.Py42Response` objects that each contain a page of LegalHoldMembership objects.
