Creating Editing and Deleting Tags

Only administrators can create, edit, and delete tags. Default system tags cannot be edited. Database permissions affect an administrator's ability to manage tags. Before you create or change tags, review Understanding Access Control for Tags.

  • Each tag name can contain up to 128 bytes.
  • Only an administrator with database policy-based permissions disabled or enabled can create both resource and policy tags.
  • An administrator can create up to 1000 tags per account.
  • You can add a maximum of 20 tags per table.
  • Administrators cannot change a tag name or type after its creation.

This topic includes:

    • Resource tag
    • Recommended for PII
