The Storage Quota feature enables quotas to be set during or after sub-account creation. Only specific accounts have the option to enable hard quotas. Wasabi recommends using soft quotas to minimize the risk of service interruption. If you require hard quotas to be enabled, please contact your account representative at sales@wasabi.com to discuss your options.
In the Sub-Accounts page, click Create Sub-Account. The Create Sub-Account modal is displayed.
Enter the name and email for the sub-account and create a password.
Optionally, select the following:
Send Password Reset to Sub-Account Email
Password Reset Required

Enter the Storage Quota. This is the amount of storage purchased for this sub-account. The purchased storage is used to calculate the storage utilization value. This amount can be modified at any time in the Sub-Account profile.
Quota types available depend on whether hard quotas or soft quotas are enabled for each user. Most users will only see Soft Quota. If the Hard Quota type is enabled, it will display in the Quota Type drop-down. For example:
Currently, a hard quota limit cannot be set for Channel Accounts. However, Channel Accounts can set the hard quota on their Sub-Accounts if the Control Account is enabled.
Hard Quota — enforces storage quota limits and prevents continued use after the storage quota limit is reached or exceeded. A block will be placed on all future uploads to that account, causing any uploads in progress or any future uploads to fail. The storage quota must be increased, or the set limit must be removed to lift the block.
Because storage quota usage is assessed every 24 hours, an account can technically exceed the quota limit during that time before it is blocked.
Soft Quota — does not enforce storage quota limits. It triggers a notification when the storage quota limit is reached or exceeded.
