# Creating a Default User QoS Policy

Creating a default user QoS policy enables the [user QoS policy](/docs-5-3/docs/en/qos-overview) functionality on the VAST cluster. QoS Overview

A default user QoS policy is created per tenant. A tenant can have only one default user QoS policy.

When a default user QoS policy exists for a tenant, assigning a new user QoS policy to a user on the tenant would override the settings of the default policy for that user.

To create a default user QoS policy:

- In VAST Web UI, toggle the Use as default QoS policy option on when creating or modifying a user QoS policy (**​Element Store**​ -> **​QoS Policies**​ -> choose to create or edit a user QoS policy -> ​**User**​​ tab).
- In VAST CLI, run the `qospolicy create` or `qospolicy modify` command with the `--is-default` option specified.
