7.2.2. Setting Resource Limits for Projects
The CloudPlatform administrator can set global default limits to control the amount of resources that
can be owned by each project in the cloud. This serves to prevent uncontrolled usage of resources
such as snapshots, IP addresses, and virtual machine instances. Domain administrators can override
these resource limits for individual projects with their domains, as long as the new limits are below the
global defaults set by the CloudPlatform root administrator. The root administrator can also set lower
resource limits for any project in the cloud
7.2.3. Setting Project Creator Permissions
You can configure CloudPlatform to allow any user to create a new project, or you can restrict that
ability to just CloudPlatform administrators.
