About Quotas and Privileges

NTFSD
1

Hi,

I am writing an IFS that implements quotas like NTFS does.

In doing so, I have run into a question that does not seem to be answered
anyplace. What privilege does a user need in order to be able to set
quotas? The documentation just states that you must be an administrator,
but I am pretty sure it must be based on some privilege.

If anyone knows the answer, please let me know.

Thanks,

Don

There is a function that allows to check if the user is a local
administrator - SeTokenIsAdmin.

IIRC this function starts from XP.
