Edit a data security policy
Data security policies allow you to control how your organization’s data is shared with users and apps. What is a data security policy?
If your organization’s security needs change, you can edit an existing policy.
You can only edit policies that cover data that you have permission to access. If you need to edit a policy on behalf of another team, you may need to temporarily grant yourself product access.

Limits
There are some limits to be aware of:

If the policy covers spaces and projects, you can select items from a maximum of 15 different product instances. We limit you to 15 items (spaces or projects) from each product instance. If you need to cover more items than this, you can create another policy.
You can have a maximum of 50 policies in your organization.
