Policy Management - Quotas

Use Quotas to define limits on the amount of storage that a user or a group of users can consume. Quotas allow you to specify limits at three different levels for a user or group of users: at the filesystem level, at the computer level, and at the level of the whole network.

Level

Description

Filesystem

Define Quotas for a user or group of users at the filesystem level.

Network

Define a Quota that place limits over multiple machines. You can place network level limits on users or groups of users for all the computers (or a chosen subset) or filesystems in your environment. This enables you to define quotas that affect multiple machines on your network.

Computer

Define a Quota that places limits on a specific machine for a user or group of users. This means that the quota that you set for a user or group of users, will be enforced on each computer for which you have defined the quota.

You can define two different kinds of Quotas: User and OS User Group.
