Mediasite allows you to track and allocate storage space using quota policies. Quota policies also allow you to impose restrictions on user folders when they exceed their allocated storage space. These must be well-known users, that is, users with user profiles.
When quota limits are enabled, users can see the amount of storage space they are using at any given time. Additionally, a presentation’s size is included on its properties page and users can sort presentations by size. The following items count against a user’s storage space:
•Presentations and the files associated with them: media, podcast (MP3), and video podcast (MP4 composite).
•Editor projects and archived video files associated with them.
Overview
To use storage quota policies in Mediasite you will do the following:
Step1: Enable quota levels on the site. When you enable this feature on the site, additional options become available in Mediasite.
Step 2: Assign “quota management” permissions. You must assign all users who will be responsible for managing storage space permissions to manage quotas and create quota levels in Mediasite.
Step 3: Add quota levels. Quota levels are templates used to create quota policies. They determine the amount of storage allocated and what restrictions and notifications, if any, are applied when quotas are exceeded.
If you will add users to Mediasite
using user profile provisioning, you can assign a default quota level. Mediasite
will apply this quota level to each user added using provisioning. You
will typically use user profile provisioning for large-scale My Mediasite
deployments. For more information on user profile provisioning, see Setting up user
profile provisioning.
Step 4: Assign quota policies to users. You can assign quota policies to users individually on their user profile page or to multiple users at once. You can update or remove quota policies as needed.
