Enabling and Configuring Quota Management for a

Policy

Quota management is enabled at the policy level. To activate, simply go to the Quota

Manger Control, found on the user properties page of any File System Factory™ policy.

Select the check-box "Quota Manager is enabled for users covered by this policy" to

enable quota management interface for managing user quotas.

Options can then be set to determine how the quota can be managed. Choosing no

maximum will allow the quota manager to continue to increment the limit until the

volume space is exhausted. Otherwise, an upper limit maximum may be set. The other

option determines how the quota is raised by the manager. A predetermined amount can

be set, and the administrator will be able to raise a user's quota by that amount until it

reaches the maximum (if set.) Otherwise the administrator will be able to type in the new

user quota.

Users in eDirectory can have the rights set to use Quota Manager. Organization Roles,

groups, or other object that use security equivalence can be used as well. To make an

object the quota manager, select the portion of the tree where the users exist that the quota

manager will be allowed to manage. Remember these users must be managed by FSF

policies with quota management enabled. Set the attribute rights of the desired object for

the attribute cccFSFactoryHomeDirectoryQuota to Write. This can be set for the whole

tree, for an organization or organizational unit, or all the way down to an individual user,

if desired. Because this feature uses eDirectory rights, the traditional inheritance applies,

including the use of inherited rights filters.

management is desired. Be sure the users are covered by the policy. If the

policy was applied after the users were created, a backfill may be required to

include those users in the FSF database.
