Adding tags to resources

Each tag key on a resource can have only one tag value. If you attempt to add a tag that has the same key as an existing tag, the value of the existing tag is overwritten.

For example, the city:shanghai tag is added to a resource. If you add the city:newyork tag to the resource, the city:shanghai tag is automatically removed from the resource.

Note
  • The number of policies that can be attached to a RAM user, RAM user group, or RAM role is not affected by authorization scope. In other words, you can apply the same number of policies whether you grant permissions on a single resource group or on your Alibaba Cloud account.
  • This topic lists only the default quotas for the items. The quotas of specific items are adjustable. To apply for a quota increase, go to the Quota Center page. You can configure quotas for a wide range of Alibaba Cloud services in Quota Center. For more information, see Services that work with Quota Center.
