 ## Set additional quotas for specific users
 
 You can specify quotas for certain users beyond the common quotas that were set for all users in the preceding section. For example, if you (as an instructor) set the quota for all users to 10 hours and set an additional quota of 5 hours for a specific user, that user gets 15 (10 + 5) hours of quota. If you change the common quota later to, say, 15, the user gets 20 (15 + 5) hours of quota. Remember that this overall quota is outside the scheduled time. The time that a student spends on a lab VM during the scheduled time does not count against this quota.
