How the Methods for Setting Limits Interact

You can combine the methods for setting limits on operations. The following rules apply:

• A role-based limit takes precedence over a DSA-based limit.
• An operational limit that is less restrictive than a DSA-based limit takes precedence over that DSA-based limit.
• An operational limit that is less restrictive than a role-based limit takes precedence over that role-based limit.
• If the user has a role and limits defined in the operation are larger than the limits configured for the role, then the role's limits are enforced.

Example: Limits Set in Different Places

The example directory system shown in the diagram below has limits set in three places:

• The user is a member of a role that has limits
• The operations each have limits
• The DSA has limits

  

The following table shows the actual limits that apply for each operation run by this user:

If another user, who is not a member of any roles, runs these operations, the following limits apply:
