title: limits on aws federated users and policies
body: <p>I am working on aws to back up my data. i want to choose following approach for backing up my data.</p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>suppose i have n numbers of organizations and each organization has n number of departments and each department has n numbers of users.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>i want to back up those organizations data based on organization &gt; department &gt;user structure.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>now i have an iam user account and a bucket in aws s3.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>i create a folder structure based on organization structure as</p>
  <p>first folder for organization &gt; subfolder for department &gt; child sub folder for users</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>e.g
  organization name :ABC</p>
  <p>department name : Developer</p>
  <p>user name: testUser</p>
  <p>so bucket folder structure on aws will be as</p>
  <p>ABC/Developer/testUser/....</p>
  <p>so here i show how i am managing organization's data on aws s3.</p>
  <p>but now the point is i am allowing organizations users to put/get data to/from s3 on request.</p>
  <p>after user's request i will generate federated user credentials for that user will policy which will allow user to put/get data to/from only users folder.</p>
  <p>But my questions are:</p>
  <p>Q 1. How many federated users can i generate. Is their is any limit for federated users?</p>
  <p>Q 2. how many policies an IAM user can generate at a time?</p>
  <p>Q 3. As my approach mentioned above their can be n number of federated users so can i generate n number of policies and applies those to federated user.</p>
  <p>Thanks &amp; Regerds</p>
