1.2       raeburn     2: By default, each user in your domain can create blogs, a personal 
                      3: information page, and store files in an individual portfolio space. 
                      4: Students can submit items from their portfolio to meet the requirements 
                      5: of assignments in their courses.
1.1       raeburn     6: 
1.2       raeburn     7: You can choose to disable personal information pages, blogs and/or portfolios 
                      8: for different groups of users defined for your domain (e.g., Faculty, Adjunct, 
                      9: Staff, Student).  If the ``Modify User'' utility in User Management is 
                     10: used to explicitly set availability of these tools for a particular user,
                     11: that will override the corresponding settings determined by the user's 
                     12: affiliation.
                     13: 
1.3     ! raeburn    14: If you choose to enable portfolios, default quotas (in MB) 
1.2       raeburn    15: can similarly be set to vary by institutional affiliation.
1.1       raeburn    16: If a user is affiliated with more than one group, whichever default
                     17: quota is largest for the different groups is the one which applies.
1.3     ! raeburn    18: Institutional types are defined in the ``Institutional user types''
        !            19: section on the ``Default authentication/language/timezone/portal/types'' 
        !            20: screen. If no types have been defined, then a single default quota
        !            21: will apply for all users from the domain.
1.2       raeburn    22: 
                     23: Default portfolio quotas which can be set for users in your domain
                     24: will be overridden by any quota you set for an individual user via:
                     25: the ``Modify User'' utility.
1.3     ! raeburn    26: 
        !            27: Additional options for authoring spaces can be set for the various user 
        !            28: types: (a) whether webDAV is active, and (b) the default quota for Authoring Space.
        !            29: These only come into effect for a particular user, when an author and/or one or
        !            30: more co-author roles have been assigned to a user to provide access to one or more 
        !            31: Authoring Spaces.
        !            32: 
        !            33: WebDAV allows a user to connect to an Authoring Space in the same way as removable
        !            34: media, and to use their own laptop/desktop computer's file management tools and
        !            35: applications to move, edit and delete files.  In the case of MacOS, the user selects 
        !            36: the ``Go'' item in the Finder toolbar and selects ``Connect to Server''.
        !            37: The user will then enter a URL for a library server where the authoring space is located:
        !            38: e.g., https://s10.lite.msu.edu/webdav/msu/sparty/  where msu is the domain and sparty
        !            39: is the username of the Authoring Space.  Note: webDAV usage requires Apache/SSL to be 
        !            40: running on the  library server.  The user will be prompted to enter a username
        !            41: (this will be the LON-CAPA username, if the user is also the author, or username:domain 
        !            42: of the user, if the access is for a co-author), and the user's LON-CAPA password.
        !            43: 
        !            44: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
        !            45: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV 
        !            46: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
        !            47: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
        !            48: 
        !            49: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without the ability to 
        !            50: reverse the deletion), it is important that authors assigned webDAV access are especially
        !            51: careful when working in the webDAV environment. 
        !            52:
