Hi Kristina,

you could use some heuristics to help with the changes: e.g you only
change the quota for those users/groups whose current quota equals the
old institution quota.

In case the current quota is not the same as the old quota, you could
keep the higher of the current user quota and the new institution quota
(if the current user quota was higher than the old institution quota),
or the lower of the current user quota and new institution quota (if the
current user quota was lower than the old institution quota).

The rationale is that people with quotas higher that institution quota
should get an "enhanced service" always, and people with lower quotas
than institution quotas should get a "reduced service" always.

Saludos.
Iñaki.

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
