At least from our experience, the default user share within an account is 1, so they'd all stay at the same share within that account. Except for the one faculty who wanted a much higher share than the students within their account, I've never had to modify shares for any users otherwise. So adding and removing users has been a non-issue.

On this account, we have users coming and going relatively often and having fairshare automatically adjusted would simplify the administration. Dr.-Ing.

I am reading the documentation, but as a non-admin, it is difficult for me to know what the configuration steps for something like this would be. If someone would outline the configuration steps in this case, it would save me a great deal of time... Kind regards, Tomislav Maric -- Dr.-Ing.
