import { Tree } from '@shared/components/ui/file-tree'

## Context

You need to set up restrictions for several user groups.
Based on the configuration from the previous tutorial:

[Multi-site Active Directory, network shares and user rights management](active-directory-tp-uo-ou-gg-gl-partages-et-droits-utilisateurs.md)

We will apply "quotas" to folder shares on the Chassignieu server as an example.

Here is the shared folders tree structure:

<Tree elements={[{id:'1',name:'SRV-CHA',children:[{id:'2',name:'DATA-CHA',children:[{id:'3',name:'Tech-Common',type:'folder'},{id:'4',name:'Adm-Common',type:'folder'},{id:'5',name:'Adm-Chassignieu',type:'folder'},{id:'6',name:'Tech-Chassignieu',type:'folder'},{id:'7',name:'Management',children:[{id:'8',name:'Investments',type:'folder'},{id:'9',name:'HR',type:'folder'}]}]},{id:'10',name:'PROFILES-CHA',type:'folder'},{id:'11',name:'DBASE-CHA',type:'folder'}]}]} initialExpandedItems={['1','2','7']} sort="none" className="h-auto" client:load />

Here are the company requirements:

Technicians | Common | Administrative | Common | Chassignieu Technicians | Chassignieu Administrative | Management
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1GB | 500MB | 1GB | 500MB | 2GB | 4GB | 4GB

- Profiles
