    Abstract: A computing resource service receives a request to access the service and perform various actions. In response to the request, the computing resource service obtains a set of active policies that are applicable to the request. As a result of the service determining that the set of active policies fail to provide sufficient permissions for fulfillment of the request, the service determines if an enforcement policy is available that is applicable to the request. The service evaluates the request using the enforcement policy such that if the enforcement policy includes permissions sufficient for fulfillment of the request, the request is fulfilled.

In contrast to the prior art, in the molecular sieve prepared by this method, rare earth ions are located in sodalite cages, which is demonstrated by the fact that no rare earth ion is lost during the reverse exchange process. Moreover, the molecular sieve prepared by such a method has a molecular particle size D(v,0.5) of not more than 3.0 ?m and a D(v,0.9) of not more than 20 ?m.
