Managing Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) quotas involves querying quotas and their usage, and requesting quota increases. This topic describes different methods to increase quotas and create quota templates for CEN.
Background information
Quota Center is an Alibaba Cloud service that lets you centrally manage the quotas of various Alibaba Cloud services. Quota Center is integrated with multiple Alibaba Cloud services, such as Cloud Enterprise Network. If you use multiple Alibaba Cloud services and want to manage all your service quotas from a single interface, you can use Quota Center.
Alternatively, the Cloud Enterprise Network console provides a quota management feature. If you do not need to centrally manage quotas for multiple cloud services, you can manage CEN quotas directly on the Cloud Enterprise Network quota management page.
Limits
By default, only an Alibaba Cloud account can perform operations in Quota Center. To allow a Resource Access Management (RAM) user to perform these operations, you must first grant the AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission to the RAM user. For more information, see Authorize a RAM user.

Create a quota template
When a quota template is Enabled and you have joined it, the template automatically submits a quota increase request whenever the management account of the resource directory adds a new member. Existing members are not affected. With a quota template, you can request to increase multiple quota items at once. This improves the efficiency and automation of quota management for your entire organization.

You are logged on with a management account.
You have enabled Resource Directory. For more information, see Enable a resource directory.
You have enabled quota templates. For more information, see Enable quota templates.
