solved In "User account" module, what does the "max profiles" number mean?

I am looking at my user account settings for different quotas.

If 'power user' is allowed, I can then select an allowance of Max Profiles = 1 and selected multiple allowed quotas.

Or I can set up an allowance of Max Profiles = 2 and select a single allowed quota.

In the first case, I suppose a user can make only one profile in one of two allowed quotas.

In the second case, I suppose a user can make two profiles in one allowed quota.

If I set up an allowance of Max Profiles = 2 and select two allowed quotas... what happens?

Can members then make 2 profiles in one quota, or 1 profile in each of two quotas? Or can they make 2 profiles in each of two quotas?

i.e. does "max profiles" number define an absolute (over-all) limit, regardless of the number of allowed quotas, or a limit per allowed quota?

Yes:

1) Max Profile = Max Profiles they can create
2) Allowed Quotas = Quotas they are allowed to pick from

Let me know if the Help text in the config form is unclear on these and I can update.

Thanks!

The help text is not unclear, but is incomplete...

For 'Max Profiles"

Help text: "How many profiles can a Power User in this quota create? "

My understanding now is that if the user can make 2 profiles but is given access to 4 quotas, only 2 of the 4 quotas can be used, not 2 profiles in each quota. Can the original profile and quota be discarded in the process? Or is the original profile and quota associated with a user account fixed?

Correct.

How many profiles is how many profiles total.

Quotas: "Tonight's menu options are:"
* a 100g steak
* a 200g steak
* a 300g steak
* a 400g steak
* a 500g steak
* a 600g steak
* a 700g steak
* a 800g steak
* a 900g steak

If the MAX PROFILES is 2 then there will only be 2 profiles creatable even if there are ten options to choose from.
