Hi Soumya,
                    You can copy  quotas, what I can't figure out is how to set a consumer from the API.

In table 7.263 Attributes Summary at
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html/rest_api_guide/types#types-quota

it show a users attribute but I only get

<quota href="/ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000012f/quotas/7e3f074f-9911-40b8-a8ed-a52f7e933fff" id="7e3f074f-9911-40b8-a8ed-a52f7e933fff">
<name>testcli</name>
<link href="/ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000012f/quotas/7e3f074f-9911-40b8-a8ed-a52f7e933fff/permissions" rel="permissions"/>
<link href="/ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000012f/quotas/7e3f074f-9911-40b8-a8ed-a52f7e933fff/quotastoragelimits" rel="quotastoragelimits"/>
<link href="/ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000012f/quotas/7e3f074f-9911-40b8-a8ed-a52f7e933fff/quotaclusterlimits" rel="quotaclusterlimits"/>
<cluster_hard_limit_pct>20</cluster_hard_limit_pct>
<cluster_soft_limit_pct>80</cluster_soft_limit_pct>
<data_center href="/ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000012f" id="00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000012f"/>
<storage_hard_limit_pct>20</storage_hard_limit_pct>
<storage_soft_limit_pct>80</storage_soft_limit_pct>
</quota>

Thanks for confirming. I shall file a RFE then.
