The ''Virtual Machine Permissions'' screen also allows a quota point limit to be specified. There is not necessarily a one to one correlation between virtual machines and quota points (although by default VMM does assign one quota point to a virtual machine template). The number of quota points assigned to a virtual machine may be modified in the template by selecting the template from the VMM Administrator Console ''Library'' view, selecting clicking on ''Properties'' from the ''Actions'' pane and choosing selecting the ''Settings'' tab.
The number of quota points which should be assigned to a virtual machine created from a template will depend on the hardware resources configured for that template. A template containing a hardware configuration with large memory and CPU resource requirements, for example, is likely to be assigned a higher number of quota points in order limit the number of virtual machine instances that can be created through the Self-Service Portal. Once the specified quota limit is reached for the Self-Service User role, additional virtual machines cannot be created until enough virtual machines belonging to the user role are shut down to free up the number of quota points required by the new virtual machine.
Clicking ''Next'' proceeds to the ''Library Share'' screen where the the library shares to which members of the role are allowed to store virtual machines is displayed. To prevent users from storing virtual machines in a library, deselect the ''Allow users to store virtual machines in a library'' option.
Finally, click ''Next'', review the ''Summary'' screen and click ''Create'' to create the new Self-Service User role.
