Yes it is correct.

Yes it is OK. You needn't use file limits.
[root at ...]# setquota -u templeuser 200000 1200000 /home

[root at ...]# edquota -p templeuser `awk -F: '$3>500 {print $1}' /etc/passwd`

 This formula will replicate automaticaly quota of templeuser  for all users
with their ID>500. If you change the value for example to
'$3>1340' , quota will be change for all users with ID higher then 1340 as
you need. List of the users is taken from /etc/passwd file.
ID of the users you can see in  SYSTEM SETTINGS->USERS  AND GROUPS.

Check and try  for several /for example last 3 users/ how does it work.
Bye. Marian
