Assigning a User to a Group
Use the following steps to assign a user account to a user group:

Quota Rules
Assigning user quotas allows you to better control the disk space allocated to a user or a
group. There are various rules dictating which quota takes precedent over another.

User quota must be ≤ the group quota (e.g., if your group has a 20 GB quota and
you try to set the user quota to 30 GB quota, you will be prompted to reduce your
user quota to be equal to or less then the group quota).

If the user quota is not set, the group quota is assigned to the user.

When a user quota is set prior to the user joining a group and a group is assigned:
-If the user quota > group quota, the individual user‘s quota is automatically reduced to
the group quota amount.
-If the user quota is ≤ group quota, the individual user quota remains unchanged.
