- Configuration of domain defaults for webDAV and Authoring Space quotas
  moved from "Blogs, personal pages/timezones, portfolio/quotas" to
  "Authoring Space defaults".

\label{Domain_Configuration_Quotas}
By default, each user in your domain can create blogs, a personal 
information page, store files in an individual portfolio space, set
rules on access by others to individual file(s) in the portfolio, and
set the time zone to use when showing open dates. due dates etc.
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, portfolios, 
portfolio access by others, and/or time zone setting 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 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.
