## Modifying Quotas in VAST Web UI

1. From the left navigation menu, select **Element Store** and then **Quotas**.
2. In the **Quotas** page, right-click the quota you want to change, and select **Edit**.
3. In the **Update Quota** dialog that opens, make changes you want in the **Quota Rules** tab. For an explanation of each setting, see [Creating Quotas](/docs-5-4/docs/creating-quotas-tg). To view the current usage in the directory before you set quotas, select the **User Accounting** tab to see usage per user and/or the **Group Accounting** tab to see usage per group.
4. When finished, click **Update**.

The quota is updated.

## Modifying Quotas in VAST CLI

To modify a directory quota, run the `quota modify` command. This includes modifying or creating default user and group quotas but not any additional user or group quotas.

To add non-default user or group quota rules to a directory quota, run the `userquota create` command.

To delete a user or group quota rule, run the `userquota delete` command.

To modify non-default user and group quotas, run the `userquota modify` command.
