AWS Organizations has increased the quota for resource control policies (RCPs) from 1,000 to 2,000 per organization. This change benefits customers managing large, complex AWS environments by allowing more granular, centralized access control configurations across member accounts without encountering policy limits. The increased quota is available at no additional cost in all supported AWS Regions and applies automatically to existing organizations.

  • Increase AWS Organizations RCP quota to 2,000 per organization
  • Resource Control Policies enable centralized access management
  • Increased quota available at no additional cost
Enhancements (1)
  • Increase AWS Organizations RCP quota to 2,000 per organization

    AWS Organizations now supports up to 2,000 resource control policies (RCPs) per organization, doubling the previous limit. This enhancement allows for more granular, centralized access control configurations across member accounts, particularly benefiting large or complex AWS environments by removing policy barriers.

Notes (2)
  • Resource Control Policies enable centralized access management

    Resource control policies (RCPs) allow customers to centrally manage the maximum permissions available to resources across member accounts. They restrict external principals from accessing resources within an organization's member accounts, enforcing organization-wide access control guidelines without modifying individual resource policies.

  • Increased quota available at no additional cost

    The increased quota of 2,000 RCPs per organization is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where AWS Organizations is supported. Existing organizations automatically benefit from this higher limit, requiring no customer action.
