30 million items
A list can have up to 30 million items and a library can have up to 30 million files and folders. When a list, library, or folder contains more than 100,000 items, you can’t break permissions inheritance on the list, library, or folder.
Solution #2: Increase the Threshold
- Go to Central Admin.
- Under “Application Management” click “Manage Web Applications”
- Select the web application for which you’re adjusting the list view threshold.
- Select “General Settings” then “Resource Throttling”
- Change the limit and click OK.
