How quotas are applied to users with multiple IDs
A user can be represented by multiple IDs. You can set up a single user quota for such a user by specifying a list of IDs as the quota target. A file owned by any of these IDs is subject to the restriction of the user quota.
Suppose a user has the Linux UID 20 and the Windows IDs corp\john_smith and engineering\jsmith. For this user, you can specify a quota where the quota target is a list of the UID and Windows IDs. When this user writes to the storage system, the specified quota applies, regardless of whether the write originates from UID 20, corp\john_smith, or engineering\jsmith.
For example, for the same user you can specify one quota that limits UID 20 to 1 GB of disk space and another quota that limits corp\john_smith to 2 GB of disk space, even though both IDs represent the same user. ONTAP applies quotas to UID 20 and corp\john_smith separately.
In this case, no limits are applied to engineering\jsmith, even though limits are applied to the other IDs used by the same user.
