The Policy Analyzer limits group expansion in the group memberships and resource expansion in the resource hierarchy to the following values.

Limit	Value
AnalyzeIamPolicy group expansion	1000 per group
AnalyzeIamPolicy resource expansion	1000 per resource
AnalyzeIamPolicyLongrunning resource expansion	100000 per resource

Downstream services

In addition to limits enforced by Cloud Asset Inventory, the number of incoming requests is also capped by the rate and quota of the downstream services that Cloud Asset Inventory depends on.

BigQuery

• Table operations: BigQuery has a quota limit for table operations, which defines the maximum number of ExportAssets API requests to the same BigQuery table that can be performed daily. ExportAssets issues 2 table operations per table per request.

• Query jobs: BigQuery has a concurrent rate limit for query job, which defines the maximum number of concurrent ExportAssets API requests that can be issued per project.

Pub/Sub

• Publisher throughput: Pub/Sub has a publisher throughput limit per region, which affects the combined asset update size Real-time feed can publish to your topic.

• Message size: Pub/Sub has message limits. For Real-time feed, if the payload of your asset update exceeds the limit, your asset update is discarded.

Request a quota increase

If you have access to the Security Command Center Premium or Enterprise tier at the organization level, you can contact your account representative to request a Cloud Asset Inventory quota increase. Activating Security Command Center Premium or Enterprise at the project level only might not be qualified to get additional quota.

Access to the Security Command Center Premium or Enterprise tier also automatically grants an unlimited number of analysis queries per organization per day.
