Currently, quotas in Manila are configurable on a per tenant and per user basis. They allow admins to set the values for the number of shares, the number of snapshots, or the amount of gigabytes for a project and allow a project member to use resources within these given limits. This system needs to be enhanced to allow cloud administrators to also define the quota for the number of shares for a given share type. This functionality is similar to the one offered by Cinder for quotas per volume type. In setups with multiple share-types, per share type quota will allow resource provider to have better control over the provisioned resources.

We were able to successfully run the tests for share type quotas against the latest puddle (2018-11-07.2). Marking the RFE as VERIFIED.
