Group Consumer on Quota not trickling down to Users in Group?

Good morning all, I have a problem with how Groups are handled with Quotas. Currently, when you assign a Group to a Quota, it does not make all the Users in that Group a Consumer in that Quota. As the documentation states, one would have to add each individual User in that Quota. Is this the intended design? I figure, much like how Groups are handled with other oVirt functions, that the Users in a Group assigned to a Quota should also inherit being a Consumer in that Quota. Thank you.

Hi, Are you referring to the fact that quota is shared between all users in the group, as described here in the documentation[1]? This is done by design. Quota objects are independent of users or groups. VMs and disks can be assigned to consume a given quota, and users or groups just have a permission to create or update objects that consume the quota.

I might have been unclear, so I apologize. I was referring to when one adds a Group to a Quota as a Consumer, the Users in that Group are not labelled as Consumers of the Quota. An example: Group A, which consists of Alice and Bob, is added to Quota A as a Consumer. However, Alice, when she creates a VM, receives an error stating she is not part of Quota A. The problem is rectified when Alice is individually added to the Quota as a Consumer. We currently are not using an AD solution. Thank you for the quick response!

I have tired this in my environment and it is working as expected. What were the exact steps you used? What role did you use for the group on quota and vm? Maybe I have tested something different. Andrej On Fri, 24 May 2019 at 17:12, Brian T <deliciouscardboard18@gmail.com> wrote:
