Allowlist rule description
The storage limit for a member is determined in the following order:
  1. When a member appears in the Allowlist, the highest storage limit applies.
  1. If the member does not appear in the Allowlist, the storage limit of the group to which the member belongs will be applied. If the user belongs to multiple groups, the storage limit of the group with the highest storage limit per person (the result of dividing the storage limit of the group by the number of people in the group) will be applied.
  1. If a member's group does not appear in the Allowlist, their department's storage limit will be applied. If a user belongs to a department with multiple different levels, the storage limit of the department with the highest level will be applied. If a user belongs to multiple departments at the same level, the storage limit of the department with the highest storage limit per person (the result of dividing the department's storage limit by the number of departments) will be applied.
  1. If a member's department does not appear in the Allowlist, the storage limit specified in Set storage limits for members will be applied.
Example: Member A is from Department A. There is an individual rule for Member A, which is set to 10 GB max, while another rule for Department A is set to 20 GB max. According to the order of priority described above, the individual rule will apply and Member A will have a maximum storage limit of 10 GB.
Note: If your organization exceeds its total storage based on it's purchased quota, members will receive a notification that their storage limit has been reached
III. FAQs
After setting a storage limit for all members, can the administrator set different limits for some members?
Yes. You can set different limits for different members or groups by adding them to the allowlist.
Note: If you have upgraded the storage limit management feature, the old Manage Storage Limits option is no longer available. For more information, see Admin | Set storage limit for members.
If a member reaches their storage limit set by an administrator, can they continue to use Lark Docs?
Members will not be able to upload new files, but they will still be able to use previously uploaded files. If members attempt to upload new files that are larger than the remaining storage space available, they will receive a prompt.
To increase the storage limit, administrators can refer to Admin | Set Lark Docs storage limit.
Note: If you have upgraded the storage limit management feature, the old Manage Storage Limits option is no longer available. For more information, see Admin | Set storage limit for members.
If the member's storage space has already exceeded the limit before it was set by the administrator, will the limit still take effect?
Yes. The limit will not affect how the member uses existing files. However, after the administrator sets the limit, the member will not be able to upload new files that will consume storage.
Note: If you have upgraded the storage limit management feature, the old Manage Storage Limits option is no longer available. For more information, see Admin | Set storage limit for members.
