Hi!

We’ve been using the authorization extension for RBAC and are reaching the storage limit of 500kb. I’ve seen mentions in Auth0 documentation and in community posts about extending the storage using S3 but can’t find any documentation around implementing it. Posts refer to this [link](https://auth0.com/docs/extensions/authorization-extension/v2/implementation/installation#amazon-s3) which now gives a 404. The steps specified [here](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/extensions/authorization-extension/install-authorization-extension#amazon-s3) seem incomplete.  
Can someone point me to the current documentation to this please?  
Also it would be great to know if there is another alternative to handling the storage limit issue.

Thanks  
Harsha

Hi @hnair,

That is correct. When using the default Webtask Storage, you are limited to 500KB of data. An alternative option is to use Amazon S3 storage.

Please see [this](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/extensions/authorization-extension/install-authorization-extension#amazon-s3) document to learn more about configuring Amazon S3 as a storage provider.

Please let me if there’s anything else I can do to help.

Thanks,  
Rueben
