To set limits for datastore tiers across more than one cloud location, create Abstract datastore tiers. See Abstract datastore tiers for storage service levels.
...
The platform will use these limits to decide if a user can deploy or reconfigure VMs or obtain more resources.
...
And the platform also generates event messages for the user and the administrator. See Events table#Workload
The platform optionally displays allocation limits on the dashboard for users with the appropriate privileges. It marks soft limits in orange and hard limits in red.

Limit | Checked at | Description |
|---|---|---|
Memory | Deployment | Total amount of RAM that may be used by VMs including hardware profiles assigned to VMs |
Virtual CPUs | Deployment | Total number of virtual CPU cores that may be used by VMs including hardware profiles assigned to VMs |
Local hard disk | Deployment | Total size of hard disk that may be used by VMs on hypervisor datastores and in public cloud providers |
External storage | Configuration | Total size of external storage that may be assigned to VMs |
VLANs | Configuration | Total number of private VLANs that may be defined. Note that a private VLAN is automatically created for every VDC, so this limit may restrict the number of VDCs that users can create |
Public /floating/NAT IPs | Configuration | Total number of public IPs, floating IPs (in public cloud), and NAT IPs that may be used |
Repository | Operations | Total size of NFS Repository space that may be used for the Catalogue including templates and instances (but not conversions). See Manage the datacenter catalogue? |
Virtual machines | Deployment | Total number of VMs that users can deploy in the location using their allowed resources |
DR protected virtual machines | Operations | Total number of VMs that users can protect with disaster recovery protection. |

Set a default role to limit tenant access to VDCs in a location
To give users different levels of access to virtual datacenters (VDCs) in specific providers or datacenters, administrators can assign a default role (with fewer privileges than user roles) for all VDCs in a location.
So this is a default value for the VDC role that you can set when you create or edit a VDC, that the administrator can later edit.
...
Users with the Manage roles and No VDC restriction privileges can then edit the role for the virtual datacenter and define exceptions. See Set a virtual datacenter role to limit user access.

Troubleshooting VDC creation The platform may prevent a user from creating a VDC (even when they have the Manage virtual datacenters privilege) if they will not have enough privileges to work with resources in the VDC. This can occur if a restrictive default role will apply to the user. The default role applies to users without the "No VDC restriction" privilege. In order for these users to create a VDC:

Go to Users → edit enterprise → Reservations
The platform will display a list of Available servers (Physical Machines) that are in the enterprise's Allowed datacenters. (See Allow a tenant to access datacenters and cloud providers).
Select the physical machine(s) in their Datacenter/Rack and drag them into the Reserved servers list
