Bug description:
On the institution config screen, there's a setting called "Update
user quotas" that will do a one-time application of the institution's
current "default quota" value to all existing users of the
institution. At the same time, if you're using the "quota almost
exceeded" notification emails, it will check each user whose quota has
just been changed and send them a notification if they're near the
threshold.
The first part of this works fine. It does indeed update the quota for
members of the changed institution, and nobody else. But there's a bug
in the second part, that sends out the notifications. Instead of only
checking the users in the institution, it checks *every* user in the
site, and sends a notification to any of them who are near the
threshold for the changed institution. This is not only annoying to
users who aren't in the institution, but also confusing, because the
email will tell them that their quota is the size of the changed
institution's quota, when in fact their quota has not changed.
To replicate:
1. Clean Mahara install
2. Log in as admin
3. Upload a 1MB file into your File -> Contents area
4. Create an institution. Save the institution.
5. Click the "edit" link for the institution.
6. Set "Default quota" to 100 Kilobytes.
7. Set "Update user quotas" to "On"
8. Click "Submit"
Expected result: The admin user should not receive a notification,
because they're not in that institution and their quota has not
changed.
Actual result: The admin user receives a notification about being over
their quota, but their quota has not actually changed from the default
50MB.
