limits on aws account iam users and policies

I am working on aws to back up my data. i want to choose following approach for backing up my data.



  1. suppose i have n numbers of organizations and each organization has n number of departments and each department has n numbers of users.

  2. i want to back up those organizations data based on organization > department >user structure.

  3. now i have an iam user account and a bucket in aws s3.


  4. i create a folder structure based on organization structure as


    first folder for organization > subfolder for department > child sub folder for users




e.g organization name :ABC


department name : Developer


user name: testUser


so bucket folder structure on aws will be as


ABC/Developer/testUser/....


so here i show how i am managing organization's data on aws s3.


but now the point is i am allowing organizations users to put/get data to/from s3 on request.


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.


But my questions are:


Q 1. How many federated users can i generate. Is their is any limit for federated users?


Q 2. how many policies an IAM user can generate at a time?


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.


Thanks & Regerds
