Press the "Edit" button below Username 6. Verify that "Maximum Running Instances" quota is set to "3" 7. Change the quota to 10000 8. Press "Update User" Expected: the quota will remain "3" Actual: jdoe's quota is now set to "10000" That the change is real can be verified by logging as an Admin again and going to the Users page.
