# How to Manage Resource Limits for Organization Teams

Organization owners and admins can view resource usage and limits for every team in their organization from the **Resource limits** tab of the organization dashboard, and can adjust team limits directly. To open the dashboard, click the profile icon in the top right of the [Control Panel](https://cloud.digitalocean.com), click **View Organizations**, then click the organization you want to manage.

The **Resource limits** tab is visible only to organization owners and admins. Organization billers do not see the tab. Team members cannot use this tab to edit limits; they manage limits from their team’s [Resource Limits page](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/teams/how-to/view-resource-limits/index.html.md) unless the team is organization-managed.

## View Team Resource Usage and Limits

The **Resource limits** tab lists every team in the organization with the team’s name, team ID, and contact email. To find a specific team, use the search field to search by team ID.

A warning icon appears next to teams that are nearing a resource limit, and a danger icon appears next to teams that have reached a resource limit.

Click a team to expand it and view per-resource usage and limits. The resource table displays the current usage, the current limit, and the tier maximum for each resource:

- **Usage/Limit**: The team’s current usage against its current limit. Click the column header to sort by usage ratio. By default, resources are sorted with the highest usage first. A warning icon appears next to resources nearing the limit.
- **Limit Max**: The maximum limit the team’s tier allows. Organization owners and admins can adjust a team’s limit up to this value. Increases beyond it require a support request.

## Edit Team Resource Limits

To adjust a team’s limit for a resource, click the **…** menu next to the resource and select **Edit limits**. Enter the new limit in the field and click **Save**.

The new limit must be a whole number greater than or equal to the team’s current usage and no greater than the tier maximum shown in the **Limit Max** column. If you enter a value below the current usage, the page displays an inline error and does not save the change.

Changes take effect immediately and are reflected in the team’s [**Resource Limits** page](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/teams/how-to/view-resource-limits/index.html.md). DigitalOcean logs every limit change with the user who made the change, the timestamp, the resource type, and the old and new values.

When an organization owner or admin adjusts a team’s limits, the team’s own **Increase resource limit** window displays the message “Your resource limits are managed by your organization. To request a change, reach out to your Organization Admin.” and the team’s self-serve increase options are disabled.

## Request a Limit Increase Beyond the Tier Maximum

To request a limit above the tier maximum for a team, click the **…** menu next to the resource and select **Request for an Increase** to open the request window. Submitting the request files a support ticket on the team’s behalf.
