Why each option
The FortiGuard quota feature allows administrators to control and manage user access based on usage limits by monitoring, warning, or requiring authentication.
Allow is a general firewall policy action, not a specific action for managing quotas once they are hit; quotas define *how* traffic is handled once limits are reached.
Block is a general firewall policy action that stops traffic, but for quotas, the actions are often more nuanced around monitoring, warning, and authentication rather than just a simple block.
Monitoring allows tracking of user activity against quotas without immediate blocking, enabling data collection and later policy enforcement.
Warning provides a notification to the user when they approach or exceed a quota, allowing them to adjust their usage before full enforcement.
Authenticate forces users to re-authenticate when a quota is met, which can be used to re-evaluate their access or log their continued usage.
