Why is a policy limit blocking me from assigning access?

You might encounter an error when you're assigning access if you already have the maximum number of policies in your IBM Cloud® account.

You tried to assign access, but received an error message that you reached the limit of access policies in the account.

A new policy can't be created to assign access, and you receive an error message that states:

422: Exceeded maximum policies quota error

The account is at the limit of total number of policies allowed.

Reduce the number of policies on the account by following the Best practices for organizing resources and assigning access. For more information about policy limits for the account, see IBM Cloud IAM limits.
