Increasing and Decreasing Resource Limits

Increasing resource limits means to increase the server resources available to a reseller for a specific service. When you increase a reseller's resource limits for a service, you enable the reseller to sell additional resources for that service on your server.

Decreasing resource limits from resellers means to take server resources back from a reseller.

Before you increase a reseller's resource limits, you need to add a service to the reseller, and you need to have a server that has resources available.

To increase a reseller's resource limits:

1. On the top navigation bar, click resellers.
2. Select the reseller whose resource limits you want to increase, then click overview.
3. Click the resources tab.
4. On the action bar above the form, click Increase Resource Limits.
5. In the Increase by column on the service page, enter the amount you want to add for each resource type, then click Save.
   

   Example:

   If the limit for the number of mailboxes is 10,000 and you want to increase it to 13,000, type 3,000 in the Increase by column. When you click Save, the limit for the number of mailboxes is changed to 13,000.

To decrease a reseller's resource limits:

1. On the top navigation bar, click resellers.
2. Select the reseller whose resources you want to decrease, then click overview.
3. Click the resources tab.
4. On the action bar above the form, click Decrease Resource Limits.
5. On the service information form, type the amount by which to reduce the resource type limits in the Revoke column of the table. To remove all the resources for a resource type, select the option button next to All, then click Save.
   

   Example:

   If the Number of Mailboxes allowed is 10,000 and you want to reduce it to 8,000, enter 2,000 in the Revoke column. The value (2,000) is subtracted from the existing value (10,000). The capacity is changed to 8,000.

6. The amount of resources entered in the Revoke column is subtracted from the current limit. The result, plus any resources that have already been sold or in use, is displayed in the Limit column.

   You can decrease resources from a reseller only if they are not already sold or in use.
