 \label{Domain_Configuration_Quotas}
-Each user in your domain will receive an individual portfolio space
-to which files may be uploaded. Students can submit items from their
-portfolio to meet the requirements of assignments in their courses.
-The default quotas you set for users in your domain will be overridden
-by any quota you set for individual users. 
+By default, each user in your domain can create blogs, a personal 
+information page, and store files in an individual portfolio space. 
+Students can submit items from their portfolio to meet the requirements 
+of assignments in their courses.
 
-Default quotas (in Mb) can be set to vary by institutional affiliation,
-as defined for your domain (e.g., Faculty, Adjunct, Staff, Student).
+You can choose to disable personal information pages, blogs and/or portfolios 
+for different groups of users defined for your domain (e.g., Faculty, Adjunct, 
+Staff, Student).  If the ``Modify User'' utility in User Management is 
+used to explicitly set availability of these tools for a particular user,
+that will override the corresponding settings determined by the user's 
+affiliation.
+
+If you choose to enable portfolios, default quotas (in MB) 
+can similarly be set to vary by institutional affiliation.
 If a user is affiliated with more than one group, whichever default
 quota is largest for the different groups is the one which applies.
-Institutional types need to be defined in a customized version of
-\&inst\_usertypes() in the localenroll.pm module installed on the
-primary server in your domain. If no types have been defined, then
-a single default quota will apply for all users from the domain.
+Institutional types are defined in the ``Institutional user types''
+section on the ``Default authentication, language, timezone, portal, types'' 
+screen. If no types have been defined, then a single default quota
+will apply for all users from the domain.
+
+Default portfolio quotas which can be set for users in your domain
+will be overridden by any quota you set for an individual user via:
+the ``Modify User'' utility.
+
+Additional options for authoring spaces can be set for the various user 
+types: (a) whether webDAV is active, and (b) the default quota for Authoring Space.
+These only come into effect for a particular user, when an author and/or one or
+more co-author roles have been assigned to a user to provide access to one or more 
+Authoring Spaces.
+
+WebDAV allows a user to connect to an Authoring Space in the same way as removable
+media, and to use their own laptop/desktop computer's file management tools and
+applications to move, edit and delete files.  In the case of MacOS, the user selects 
+the ``Go'' item in the Finder toolbar and selects ``Connect to Server''.
+The user will then enter a URL for a library server where the authoring space is located:
+e.g., https:// $<$ hostname $>$ /webdav/ $<$dom$>$ / $<$ username $>$/  where dom is the domain 
+and username is the username of the Authoring Space owner. 
+Note: webDAV usage requires Apache with SSL to be running on the library server.  
+The user will be prompted to enter a username (this will be the LON-CAPA username
+if the user is also the author, or username:domain of the user,
+if the access is for a co-author), and the user's LON-CAPA password.
+
+The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
+the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV 
+environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
+the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
+
+Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without the ability to 
+reverse the deletion), it is important that authors assigned webDAV access are especially
+careful when working in the webDAV environment.
