[ckan-dev] User Quota

Sat Oct 26 05:36:32 UTC 2013

Thanks Nigel for responding to my email. User quota implementation is not a high priority for us at this time. I guess we will wait for the new CKAN version (2.2) before doing any implementation related to user quota.

Hi Pabitra,

There isn't any configuration to implement user quota at this time. Implementing such a user quota system in CKAN is bound to be challenging. For starters, I'm not sure how you'd do this from an extension besides monkey patching.

The place to look into would be ckan/controllers/storage.py. We store uploaded-by as metadata along with the file. You would need to write an endpoint to check for filesize and then call it from JS before doing the file upload. The actual file upload is handled by JS in CKAN.

However, we're in the middle of changing how the filestore works significantly. This should land in a few weeks for 2.2 and this will, unfortunately, make your changes incompatible with future versions.

Hi All,

Is there any configuration settings to implement user quota to restrict to a certain limit of disk data space for each user data upload? If there is no such settings then would like any pointers on how to implement such a user quota system in CKAN.

Thanks,
Pabitra
