In SharePoint, as an administrator, I can control the
storage limits for a site. Quota specifies the amount of data that stored in a
site collection. Quota settings will send emails when quota limit is exceeded.
We can change the quota settings in SharePoint central
Administration By Navigating to Application Management and Selecting Specify
Quota Templates link.
We can the Quota template page with maximum size and
personal site template. We can change the separate template also. Template name
will edit the existing quota templates. We can create new templates in the
template name section. Storage limits values will specify the whether to limit
the amount of the storage available on the Site Collection. “Sand boxed Solutions
with Code Limits” specifies the sand boxed code allowed in the site collection.
If warning limits exceeds, Quota template will send an
email. Any change in the template will be affected all the sites in this
template. To change the specific site collection quota without changing the
quota template we need to follow the steps below,
Navigate to Application Management in Configure Quotas and
Locks link Site Collections section.
In Quotas page, in the Current quota template, we have to
choose the template quota and specify the Limit site storage and send warning
details and Sand boxed Solutions Resource Quota.
Locks will specify administrators to disallow users to view,
add, edit, and delete the items from a site. This will be useful while taking
backup or migrating activities. We have four lock types are available in
SharePoint.
Not Locked is the default scenario users can
view or edit the contents. Adding Content Prevented option will add new content
that blocked but edit/delete will allowed here. Through Read only option users
can only view the content. Adding/editing/Deleting will not be allowed. Through
No access users cannot allow to access the site.
We can configure locks by navigating to Application
management and select configure quotas and locks. In the quotas and locks page,
we need to specify the lock status in “Lock status for this site” option.
