> Making a space's Identity Resolution Rules less restrictive by changing the [Limit](https://segment.com/docs/unify/identity-resolution/identity-resolution-settings/#limit) shouldn't cause any issues to existing or future profiles. Though making a space's Identity Resolution Rules more restrictive after profiles exist then that could have serious impacts on existing profiles that already exist outside the bounds of the more restrictive rules, such as with decreasing an identifier's Limit or changing the [Priority](https://segment.com/docs/unify/identity-resolution/identity-resolution-settings/#priority) of identifiers.

When making any changes to a space's Identity Resolution Rules, make sure your team documents those changes to ensure changes don't cause breaking changes to profiles, and do not to update the Identity Resolution Rules to be more restrictive after profiles already exist outside the bounds of those new limitations.
