  • Description: where necessary, add a comment to the name to help describe the quota's intended use;

  • Use: tick this box if you want to share the quota between a group of users. When this box is ticked, you must define a group Management Rule.

The group quota is defined for a group of users with a common criterion ("2nd year trainees" or "Members of the IT department" for example). It can be allocated alongside an individual quota. However, if a user has a group quota and an individual quota, this individual quota can no longer be debited when the group quota has been spent.
