No, that particular use case is not supported out of the box.
You can however implement it using the following tools:
* The quotas can be updated through the cli [1], ruby [2] or java [3] api.
* You can be notified when new users are created using hooks [4].
* You can define ACL rules to modify what a user can/cannot do.
* You shouldn't need it for your requirements, but you can also create
custom authentication and authorization drivers [5]
