I can't make out from the project page and project issues whether User Quota allows limiting content creation based only on defining limitations for each user, or whether its possible to assign restrictions to user roles and base the limitations on that instead.

Could someone clarify this point for me please?

Am I able to limit a role number to a certain number of possible page creations using this module, such that I can then give this role number to many users, or have it automatically assigned, and enforce the restrictions?

Thanks!

Title: Does User Quota support role based content creation limitation? » assign a quota when a role is granted

It is on a per user basis and does not take roles into account.

It would be a nice feature to grant someone a certain quota when they are granted a role. Something like this:

1. Admin configures the module so that Role X can create N nodes of Type Foo
2. User is created with Role X (or an existing user is granted Role X)
3. A module automatically grants that user the ability to create N nodes of Type Foo

This would be great if it were role-based - then one could sell a role to create X nodes. The way it is now it requires unnecessary administration.

requires unnecessary administration.

Or glue code...

I abstracted this module away from a big custom payment framework we built for a site, which is how I recommend people integrate it. There was talk of a bounty to integrate this with something like http://drupal.org/project/lm_paypal but unfortunately not enough of a bounty materialized. If you are interested in sponsoring that work, please let me know.

Greggles, how much of a bounty would be required to get the role quota functionality?

Thanks for your work on the module so far!

It would probably be several hundred dollars to hire me/us to write any code and documenting how to make this a product for checking out with Ubercart.
