You can now access the File Server Resource Manager from the administrative interface and use it to create quotas.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1862\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foldersecurityviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/word-image-9.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating Quotas Using FSRM<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nAs earlier mentioned, quota management enables you to set restrictions and define the extent of space available for users in the server. For example, you can limit all users to a maximum of 5GB on a shared folder. As such, the users cannot add data to the folder that exceeds 5GB.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou can also configure the File Server Resource Manager tool to be sending notifications whenever the specified usage limit is reached. For example, you can specify that an email is to be sent if 85% of the space has been consumed.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCreating quotas using the FSRM tool is a two-step process:\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Create a template<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Create a quota<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>a) Create a template<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore setting quotas, you need to either create a quota template or choose a default template already available on the File Server Resource Manager tool.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt is recommended that you create quotas solely from templates. This way, you can easily manage your quotas by making changes to the templates rather than the individual quotas. The one central location for managing quotas eases the enactment of storage policy rules.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHere are the steps for creating a quota template.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1. Under the \u201cQuota Management\u201d Section, right-click the \u201cQuota Templates\u201d button and go for \u201cCreate Quota Template\u201d.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1863\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foldersecurityviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/word-image-10.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n2. On the window that pops up, enter the Template name and the space limit. If you choose the \u201cHard quota\u201d option, users will be unable to surpass the specified limit. A hard quota is good for controlling the amount of data allowed on a folder or a disk.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you select the \u201cSoft quota\u201d option, users will be able to exceed the allocated limit. A soft quota is mostly used for monitoring space usage and producing notifications.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1864\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foldersecurityviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/word-image-11.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n3. Lastly, to set notification thresholds, press the \u201cAdd\u201d button. On the window that pops up, input your notification specifications.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou can specify that an email is to be sent, an entry is to be made to the event log, a command is to be run, or a report is to be generated. For example, you can state the whenever usage reaches 85%, send an email message to the administrator.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThereafter, click \u201cOK\u201d to complete creating the quota template.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1865\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foldersecurityviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/word-image-12.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>b) Create a quota<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAfter setting up the quota template or using a default quota template, you need to create the quota.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHere are the steps for creating a quota.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1. On the File Server Resource Manager\u2019s dashboard, right-click on \u201cQuotas\u201d and go for \u201cCreate Quota\u201d.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1866\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foldersecurityviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/word-image-13.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n2. On the \u201cCreate Quota\u201d window, in the \u201cQuota path\u201d section, browse the path to the volume or folder that the storage capacity restriction will be applied.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThen, choose either the \u201cCreate quota on path\u201d or the \u201cAuto apply template and create quota\u2026\u201d option.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you select the first option, quota will only be applied to the primary folder. For example, if you limit the parent folder to only 5GB, then the other subfolders will share the space specified in the main folder.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you choose the second option, then the quota will also be applied to the subfolders. For example, if you restrict the main folder to 5GB, then the subfolders will also have individual quotas of 5GB each.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSubsequently, on the \u201cDerive properties from this quota template\u201d option, choose the template you created previously.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf satisfied with the quota properties, click \u201cCreate\u201d.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1867\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foldersecurityviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/word-image-14.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\nAfter you\u2019ve created the quota, you can see it on the File Server Resource Manager\u2019s dashboard.
