Hello everyone,

Hello.

Besides setting the quota value in the user's properties, have you included the following property into alfresco-global.properties?
system.usages.enabled=true

From the documentation https://support.hyland.com/r/Alfresco/Alfresco-Content-Services/23.3/Alfresco-Content-Services/Admin...

```Content quotas are disabled by default. You can change the default setting by adding the following property to the alfresco-global.properties file: system.usages.enabled=true.

I want to set quota limit for all normal users And we are using AD authentication in alfresco and we have around 50000 user and i want to set quota limit of 1 mb for all normal users and only admin user should be able to upload large file without quota restriction.

Were you able to enable the quota? Is it working now?

And about the last question, are you asking for a way to set that quota automatically for all users?

[akashyadav]

Yes it is working now i am able to set the quota for users but not able to set for all users at once.

With default Alfresco configuration (system.usages.enabled), quota can be restricted for every personal folder of a user. However, the limit does not apply to shared areas (like Shared or Sites).

If you want to implement a restriction by user, you need to code a custom addon.
