Hi Soumya, 1. Yes, you correct a quota is shared among all quota consumers. 2. No, it not possible, the single possibility as you said is to create a separate quota for each user. I believe it was designed to make quota for group of users at first place, but I think it can be a good RFE :)

Suppose I have created a quota (say quota1) to limit the storage capacity to 100GB for each user. Once I add user1 and user2 as consumers to that quota, seems like both users combined are entitled to 100GB. Is my understanding correct? Please let me know if there is any way to configure a single quota which could be applied for each user individually (i.e, in the above eg., each user should be limited to 100GB storage capacity). Or is the only way this can be done is by creating separate quota for each user [which seems like tedious process and cannot scale]?

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> Regards, Paul S. ________________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)ovirt.org <users-bounces(a)ovirt.org&gt; on behalf of Soumya Koduri <skoduri(a)redhat.com&gt; Sent: 03 August 2017 15:16 To: Artyom Lukianov Cc: users Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Cannot set a quota to limit resources for each user Hi Artyom, On 08/03/2017 04:07 PM, Artyom Lukianov wrote: > Hi Soumya, > > 1.
