Limitations and Notes

• The owner policy cannot be attached to a member account.
• All accounts require valid email addresses.
• An email address used by a WafCharm account cannot be reused by another account. It must be unique within the whole WafCharm system so the email addresses used by other owner role accounts or member role accounts cannot be used again.
• Up to 100 policies can be created.
