AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) quotas
The following tables describe quotas within IAM Identity Center. To increase a quota, see Requesting a quota increase.
We recommend using the AWS CLI and APIs if you have more than 50,000 users, 10,000 groups, or 500 permission sets. For more information about the CLI, see Integrating AWS CLI with IAM Identity Center. For more information about APIs, see Welcome to the IAM Identity Center API Reference.

Permission sets are provisioned in AWS accounts as IAM roles, or use existing IAM roles in AWS accounts, and therefore follow IAM quotas. For more information about quotas that are associated with IAM roles, see IAM and STS quotas.
