Quota

The QuotaData class is used to store different quota settings. Each setting may be used for many independent users and/or groups.

QuotaType

The QuotaTypeData class holds a predefined list of different types of quota.

QuotaValue and QuotaIndex

The quotaValues attribute holds the settings for a qouta. Each quota must contain at least a setting for the total quota at the primary location. For example the total quota may be set to 10 MB, while the quota for files may be set to 5 MB.

The QuotaIndex class is used to map location and QuotaTypeData with maxBytes.

The location is a flag telling what location the quota is valid for. There are three different values for location, however the offline value cannot be used in this table.
