Typical role function - how to limit file sending?

This is to limit users from sending large files, to save bandwidth, or even to disallow users to send files if you set it to 1KB.Because users can be assigned to a role that suits them, users can be assigned as different authorities, such as some users can send large files, while other people cannot.

  1. set send file size limit

    User Management-->All Roles-->Add Role (for example: role1-file sending limit in this case)

  2. Basic Permission-->Select Send file size limits

    You can enter a number (for example: 5000 in this case) as the maximum limit.

    If the size is set to 1KB, that is to say the file can hardly be sent.

  3. Check if the user is within the list

    If you want Sara to belong to role1 (limit the size of file sent in this case), make sure she is selected. Now she is only allowed to send a file no larger than 5000KB.
