Quotas apply at the nova project/tenant granularity, as opposed to an individual user.

Project-specific quotas may be set via the nova CLI, e.g.

  $ nova quota-update <tenant_ID> --instances=50

otherwise the configured default quota is inherited.

Since you're still on diablo, the new quota classes mechanism would not be relevant.
