Access Quota Policies

HTTP > Access Quota Policies

The Access Quota Policies screen shows all access quota policies on the system—both enabled and disabled. Click Add to create a new policy, or click the policy name to edit an existing one.

You can set a per-user, or per group cap access quota to restrict total Web downloads. A quota time-period can be daily, weekly, or monthly. When a user reaches his or her quota, all subsequent downloads will be denied.

• Enable access quota control: Globally controls the enabled status of all policies, regardless of their individual, or embedded, status. Click Save at the bottom of the page to enable your change.

• Specify Access Quota Per Day | Week | Month: Specify the time period for which you want the policy to apply. You can also change this value, and then open a given policy to change the time period of that policy.

• Add: Opens the Add Policy page, where you can define which user accounts the policy will affect and choose a quota amount.

• Note: The time period is inherited from the main Access Quota Policies page as previously explained.

• Priority: Sets the order of precedence. If two conflicting policies overlap in their scope, the policy with the higher priority (closer to 1) will be applied and the other ignored.  MORE>>IWSVA Access Quota Policy manager first evaluates a given Web request by finding out of which group, if any, the requesting client is a member, and then by evaluating which policy or policies are in effect for that group.
  
  If the client is affected by more than one policy, the policy with the highest priority is applied. No other policies in the list will then be evaluated for the criteria already found.

• Deploy Policies: Click after creating or modifying an Access Quota policy to have it take effect immediately.

To delete an access quota policy:

1. Under the Status column, make sure the policy you want to delete is disabled. If it is enabled, click the green checkmark to disable the policy.

2. Select the policy that you want to delete.

3. Click Delete, and then click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
