- Information about enabling/disabling portfolios, blogs, personal information
  pages for groups of users  (i.e., by status type) in domain.

\label{Domain_Configuration_Quotas}
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.

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.

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.
