python Rest Api 9.7 new user quota fails

nicola_mendella — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:11:10 GMT

When trying to add a new user quota the error is:

"users" is a required input for creating a user rule and "group" is not allowed

The arguments passed are:

newquota = QuotaRule(users=[{'name': linname}] , svm={'name' : self.storage_controllers[self.site]['vserver']}, volume={'name':'vol_users'}, qtree={'name':'users'}, type='user',user_mapping="off", space={'hard_limit':new_quota_size})

From what i can see seems that the variable is not passed to the api request.

Python 3.6

netapp-ontap 9.7.2

Modify quotas works as expected.

Any suggestion ?

Hi @nicola_mendella ,

It looks like a bug.

This is because the marshmallow schema for QuotaReportUsersSchema doesn't allow postable field for name, even id.

So you can modify quota_report_users.py in the library like

class QuotaReportUsersSchema(ResourceSchema):
    """The fields of the QuotaReportUsers object"""

    id = fields.Str(data_key="id")
    r""" Quota target user ID """

    name = fields.Str(data_key="name")
    r""" Quota target user name """

    @property
    def resource(self):
        return QuotaReportUsers

    @property
    def patchable_fields(self):
        return [
        ]

    @property
    def postable_fields(self):
        return ['name'
        ]
