Default User Quota

[rickiferbarros]

Hello.

Anybody knows some way to set a default quota for all users or specific user groups? The only reference that I could find was this link http://jared.ottleys.net/alfresco/alfresco-default-quota-policy but I can't make it work at 4.2.d Community version. There's another practical solution?

Thanks.

I dont think default user quota can be set by configuration.

You need to do customization. Either java beahvior as mentioned in the bolg. [Can you also define if any issue you faced for this approach we might help you]

And other approach I can think of scheduler

1)Get all users with cm:sizeQuota is -1 or null usign lucene query
2)Set default value using ContentUsageService

Hope this help!

This add on allows you to set the default quota for users in their home directory and also quotas for any folder in share

• alfresco-myfiles-quota: new add-on available for Alfresco - keensoft 
• GitHub - keensoft/alfresco-myfiles-quota: Define quota policies on My Files folder for each user

Hi everyone,

Is this add-on works for alfresco community 5.2 ?

When I look on gitHub, it's said that the last release is compatible with alfresco 4.2 ?

Could you tell me if there's an other way to set default quota ?

Thanks

This should work for 5.2: https://github.com/keensoft/alfresco-myfiles-quota

But I haven't tested it

Thanks for your answer

I will download and install the latest release (7 Apr 2016) and I'll let you know if it works

Hi,

I've installed the add-on and I can set a quota on a forder but I can't set a default quota when I create a user.
I've included these properties in <Install_alfresco>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global-properties

# Folder quota in bytes (10 Mb)
user.creation.default.quota=10737418 
folder.quota.core.pool.size=10 
folder.quota.maximum.pool.size=20 
folder.quota.thread.priority=5

Thanks in advance

Alfresco out-of-the-box quota controls every content created by a user.

This addon controls only content created at user home. If you access to a user home folder, you'll see that 10 MB applied.

I can add pictures without limits even if my quota folder is set to 10 MB

In your home folder?

If so, raise an issue at GitHub project and I'll take a look later.
