Summed Enrollment Limits for All SFS Managers

The space that an SFS administrator authorizes each SFS manager to allocate in a user storage group is literally that amount of space in the user storage group, up to his limit, and not a percentage of the total space available in the user storage group. (There is another factor determining how much space SFS managers can allocate, but more on this later.)

For example, the SFS administrator can specify that each of three managers can allocate 1,000 blocks of space in User Storage Group 3, which has 1,000 blocks of space:

Notice that the three managers are allowed to allocate a total of 3,000 blocks (their allocable space is 1,000 blocks + 1,000 blocks + 1,000 blocks) even though the available space is 1,000. This is because the managers’ allocable space is not cumulative.

What their limits on allocation really mean is:

• Manager A is allowed to allocate up to 1,000 blocks of space in User Storage Group 3, for use by Manager A’s user IDs only if the space is available when they want it
• Manager B is allowed to allocate up to 1,000 blocks of space in User Storage Group 3, for use by Manager B’s user IDs only if the space is available when they want it
• Manager C is allowed to allocate up to 1,000 blocks of space in User Storage Group 3, for use by Manager C’s user IDs only if the space is available when they want it.
