Modules and quotas

Admins of self-hosted DataForge instances can configure the modules and quotas granted by the license to descendant companies. This limits access to specific DataForge functions for sub-companies.

Accessing modules and quotas

Navigate to Administration > Companies while logged in as an admin. The companies page lists all companies, starting with the root company.

Root company

The root company is the highest reseller company in the hierarchy and cannot be removed. While some aspects can be modified, its type remains fixed. Modules and resource capacity are determined by the acquired license and cannot be changed by the admin.

Modules and quotas of descendant companies

Companies have two key aspects:

  • Modules: Define access to specific DataForge functions.
  • Resource quotas: Restrict creation and allocation of resources such as companies, users, and reports.

These settings can be managed on the company details page. The admin can adjust modules and quotas for all companies except the root.

Modules

DataForge modules cover four functional areas: Zabbix Client, Reporting, Self Provisioning, and AI. Each can be enabled or disabled individually per company.

Quotas

Quotas define limits for different elements within DataForge, such as companies, managers, or Zabbix servers. They also restrict module usage.

Clicking a quota opens a form:

Company configuration: Edit resource limit
  • Limit: Enables or disables the quota. Can only be disabled if the license allows unlimited use.
  • Resource-specific limit: Set limits for the selected resource. The first number is the limit for the company and the second number is the limit that can be assigned.

Resource usage indicator

An indicator bar to the right of each resource shows the resource usage:
