Hi dajan,

I was the developer that implemented this feature.

The old user/group quota is left exactly the same even if the new quota
is higher/lower. This I believe is the case when you set a new default
quota for users (the only default quota you could set before).

The reason for this is that you may set a user/group quota to something
that is not the default, so they are then a special case. It is
difficult to then change the quota and decide which of the old
user/groups should get changed to the new quota, as you may not want to
change all of them.

As I said before, I believe this to be the original functionality of the
old quota system, which I have tried to keep the new system quite close to.

Any other questions, let me know.

Cheers,

Hugh

Title:
  New quota limit policy

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Following François' request, I ask my question and give a proposal
  about quota here.

  In the master branch you add new quota policy for groups and
  institutions. The help text says that the new quota enter here will
  affect only new group's member or new institution's member; previous
  group/institution's member will see their quota remained the same as
  before.

  This is pretty good if the previous quota is higher than the new
  policy but what happens if the quota decided by the group ou
  institution admin is higher ?

  Normaly Mahara should then update the quota to the higher number.

  If it is not the way Mahara behaves it should. If it is already the
  case, the help section has to be updated to explain that if previous
  quota for already enrolled users will remain the same or upgraded if
  the new setting is higher than before.

  Regards,
  -dajan
