Default quota/user class

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a way to set a default user class for all new users? Currently it 
seems that GSS gives the lowest available quota to all new users which is a 
problem if you want the default quota to be something other than the lowest one.

No there is not. All new users receive the default user class with the default 
quota which is set in gss.properties (quota property).

It doesn't seem to work that way. We tested on GSS version from 31.8.2011. and 
although that property is set to 50GB it still gives new users a lowest quota 
of 10GB which is not default.

The bug is on a 31.8. version of GSS on 64-bit CentOS 5. Don't know how it 
behaves on the newest version.

You are right. I didn't understand correctly. The property in gss.properties is 
used only once when the default user class is created automatically. Changing 
the property after the creation of the default class has no effect. If you 
change the default class using the admin panel, all new users will have the 
edited default class but old users will be affected as well. Changing the 
default class ONLY for new users is not possible.

You could do it if you are willing to modify the DB directly:
1) create a new userclass for the old users via the admin UI
2) via SQL, set the userclass for all users to this new class
3) modify the default class accordingly via the admin UI

Thanks for the replies but that isn't what I was asking, it is my mistake, I 
mixed a bug report with my intended question. Let me clarify. This is the 
scenario:
1. first only the default class exists
2. create a new class A with a quota lower than the default class
3. connect with a new user and he will be given a class A instead of default

There seems to be a bug that when you create a new user class that has a lower 
quota than the default class than that class is used instead of the default 
class, i.e. it is automatically given to all new users. So, whichever class has 
the lowest quota GSS uses it automatically for all new users, which I believe 
shouldn't be the case.

Thanks in advance.
