+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 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://s10.lite.msu.edu/webdav/msu/sparty/  where msu is the domain and sparty
+is the username of the Authoring Space.  Note: webDAV usage requires Apache/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+Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without the ability to 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.
