Bug Description
When new accounts are created, default storage quota is not applied.
Our Default quota is 500MB. When new users log in, they get only 200MB. Their accounts immediately get created when they log in with their student/staff credentials.
I can remedy this by going Administration > Institutions > Our Institution > Update user quotas > Submit.
This then updates all users to the correct storage quota.

Hi Teresa,
There does indeed seem to be a problem with the setting of quota for a new user.
There are a couple of places where the default quota can be set.
One is for the site - under the Administration -> Extensions -> Artefact -> File -> Configuration -> Default user quota setting
The other is for an institution - under the Administration -> Institutions -> Configuration -> Default quota setting
When a new user is made it looks as though only the site default quota is respected.
There needs to be some code added to deal with the institution default quota setting.
I'm thinking that if the Institution default quota is larger than the site default quota then there should be some warning about this on the Institution -> Configuration page and not allow one to set a higher number.
If the Institution default quota is less than the site default quota then it should be respected when making new users for that institution.
