Quota Manager
Quota Manger is a new feature in File System Factory™ 1.2. It includes a separate
external interface to allow a specified user (for example a help-desk administrator or
support personnel) to increase users’ quotas upon request, without having to have rights
to the file system.
File System Factory™ adds an attribute to the Organizational Person class called
cccFSFactoryHomeDirectoryQuota. A help-desk administrator or support person is given
the Write right to this attribute on the users he or she is to manage, and this attribute
enables them to be a quota manager on those users who have policies with quota
management enabled. The steps for using quota manager are as follows:

Backfill
Perform a full analysis on the group and apply the policy
associated with the group. If the group does not have a home
directory, the policy will be applied and a home directory will be
created. If the group has a home directory assigned in eDirectory,
the location will be cataloged and managed.
Hint:
Use this option if the group does not already have storage or
if you have previously assigned storage to the home directory
attribute of the group.
Apply Group
Membership
Apply the template using the group membership and owner
attributes.
View Group Membership – shows the content of the members
attribute
Hint:
Use this option to apply the group membership and
ownership for -member- and -owner- processing respectively to a
group home directory that is already cataloged and managed.
Assign Home
Directory
Attribute
Assign an existing directory as the Home Directory for this group
and begin management of the storage according to policy.
Home Directory assigned to this group in eDirectory:
<home directory path>
Select the volume to search for existing directories.
Enter the path to search for existing directories.
Note:
Unlike all other backfill options, this option can take action
on groups not covered by a FSF policy.
Hint:
This option is useful for introducing legacy groups that have
a home directory on the network, but the directory is not specified
correctly in the home directory attribute of the group's object. If the
group is covered by a group storage policy, FSF will catalog and
begin managing storage for this group.
