  • Enter the HFS User Portal, click the switch button in the upper right corner, and select Project HFS subscription Management to enter the interface.

Step 2. Change the member's subscription policy​

  • On the Member management page, click Edit.

  • Select the member you want to adjust, and click Next.

  • Then, you can change the member's subscription policy. If you would also like to change the member's subscribed volume, please see Step 3. for more details. After the changes are made, click Next.

caution
  • If the subscription policy is "admin setup", it means that this member has a VALID subscription.
  • If the subscription policy is "forbidden", it means that this member CANNOT subscribe to this project. If you change the policy from "admin setup" to "forbidden", you will terminate this member's subscription to this project. A system warning will appear as shown below.
  • For more information about valid subscriptions, please see this document.

  • You can adjust the max subscription volume of both Home and work directory in the subscription policy field.

    • Example 2：The "max subscription volume" is LESS THAN the "used volume".

      This member's used volume under the Home directory is 533 GB. If the "max subscription volume" is set to 10 GB, the system check will fail.
