# Manage Project Quotas

*Set the default storage quota applied to new projects, and change the quota of a project that already exists, including making it unlimited.*

Manage Project Quotas
=================================

Set the storage a project may use. For what counts against that limit, see [Project Quotas](/docs/2.16/administration-manual/storage-management/project-quotas/index.md).

## Changing Project Quotas
If you are a system administrator of your Container Registry instance, you will be able to set project quotas during the creation of new projects. For the projects created by other users of your instance, you can adjust quotas afterward or specify a default storage quota.
### Set Default Storage Quota Per Project
* In the navigation pane, expand **Administration**;
* Find **Default disk space per project** und click **Edit** next to it:

* Type in the amount of storage you need;
    * Set it at **-1** for unlimited storage.

* Click **Edit**;
* Select the volume measure from the dropdown;
* Enter the amount of storage you need;
    * Set it at **-1** for unlimited storage.

> **Note:** When you change the default project quota and there are some existing projects in the instance, that won&rsquo;t change their storage quotas.
