Hello dajan,

Hugh and I had talked about your suggestion earlier. He already posted
his response. Updating existing quota is tricky as there is currently no
way to see in a big list which quotas are allocated to users (unless you
have database access). Therefore, updating the existing quotas across
the board may not be beneficial, if e.g. 50 users have 1 GB and now have
2 GB, but 10 people already have 10 GB of space. The latter would be
reduced to 2 GB.

One possibility could be to provide the admin with a checkbox "Do you
want to update existing quotas? Please be aware that all quotas set for
individuals (higher and lower than the new quota) will be overwritten."

Most likely, 90%+ this will be fine as institutions probably give the
same quota to everybody, but we should alert the admin to the
possibility that there may be other quotas as well. As these are the
default quotas, a site admin (or institution admin if allowed) can still
manually update individuals.

Cheers
Kristina

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
