AWS Organizations doubles Resource Control Policy limit to 2,000

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.

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.

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.
