It would be great to have a module which listed all the other modules quota settings in a list form. I can already see where someone is going to make a mistake especially if they have several quotas and multiple modules installed.

A list of all the modules (rows) and which quota has access to the module (column) would prevent an owner from going mad checking every module to make sure each quotas was set correctly.

I think something like this has been on our 'todo' list for some time.
Yes, it would be useful, particularly if it showed a matrix of checkboxes so that you could set everything on all your quotas in one go.
I'll maybe get a chance to think about that sometime soon.
Thanks

Yea, that's one of the first things I noticed about JR5 now that I'm actually working with it. I love how everything is modular in the new system, but thought to myself, it's going to take me a long time to add quota permissions to the modules if I need to create a quota "on the fly" or have 5 quotas on my system.

If you have a LOT of quotas, and need to each have to very different settings, then yes - I could see it taking a bit. But isn't this really a "one time" thing? After you're setup how helpful is the module going to be?

I hate spending a lot of energy on modules that are used once then forgotten unless they offer a real significant advantage.

Good point. After the initial setup, yes it wouldn't really need to be modified unless you added a new quota. Though, having this might help new people using JR who might not be able to remember every module they have on their system. So, it could serve a dual purpose: showing admins which modules are active for which quotas and a general list of all the modules which apply to quotas on the system.

It's up to you guys what modules you want to create. Just throwing it out there.
