Specifying Throttling Options for a User
You can specify preferences for speed, file size, and data limits for upload and download operations for an individual user. These settings will override any throttling options set in the template associated with the user. You can apply the same settings to user groups (User Management > Users > Group) and (User Management > Users > Role) roles.
