Introduction JMAP ([RFC8620] – (U+2013) JSON Meta Application Protocol) is a generic protocol for synchronising data, such as mails, calendars or contacts, between a client and a server. It is optimised for mobile and web environments, and aims to provide a consistent interface to different data types. This specification defines a data model for handling quotas over JMAP, allowing a user to obtain details about a certain quota. This specification does not address quota administration, which should be handled by other means. 1.1. Notational conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 2] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 Type signatures, examples and property descriptions in this document follow the conventions established in section 1.1 of [RFC8620]. Data types defined in the core specification are also used in this document. 1.2. Terminology This document reuses the terminology from the core JMAP specification established in section 1.6 of [RFC8620]. The term Quota (when capitalized) is used to refer to the data type defined in this document in Section 4 and instance of that data type. 2. Addition to the capabilities object The capabilities object is returned as part of the JMAP Session object; see [RFC8620], section 2. This document defines one additional capability URI. 2.1. urn:ietf:params:jmap:quota This represents support for the Quota data type and associated API methods. Servers supporting this specification MUST add a property called urn:ietf:params:jmap:quota to the capabilities object. The value of this property is an empty object in both the JMAP session capabilities property and an account's accountCapabilities property. 3. Data types In addition to the standard JMAP data types, a couple of additional data types are common to the definition of Quota objects and properties. Servers that support the new data types defined in this document MUST support all the properties specified for these data types. 3.1. Scope The *Scope* data type is used to represent the entities the Quota applies to. It is defined as a "String" with values from the following set: * account: The Quota information applies to just the client's account Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 3] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 * domain: The Quota information applies to all accounts sharing this domain * global: The Quota information applies to all accounts belonging to the server 3.2. ResourceType The *ResourceType* data type is used to act as a unit of measure for the quota usage. It is defined as a "String" with values from the following set: * count: The quota is measured in number of data type objects. For example, a quota can have a limit of 50 "Mail" objects. * octets: The quota is measured in size (in "octets"). For example, a quota can have a limit of 25000 "octets". 4. Quota The quota is an object that displays the limit set to an account usage. It then shows as well the current usage in regard to that limit. 4.1. Properties of the quota object The quota object MUST contain the following fields: * id: "Id" The unique identifier for this object. * resourceType: "ResourceType" The resource type of the quota as defined in Section 3.2. * used: "UnsignedInt" The current usage of the defined quota, using the "resourceType" defined as unit of measure. Computation of this value is handled by the server. * hardLimit: "UnsignedInt" The hard limit set by this quota, using the "resourceType" defined as unit of measure. Objects in scope may not be created or updated if this limit is reached. * scope: "Scope" Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 4] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 The "Scope" of this quota as defined in Section 3.1. * name: "String" The name of the quota object. Useful for managing quotas and using queries for searching. * dataTypes: "String[]" A list of all the type names (e.g., Email, Calendar, etc.) to which this quota applies. This allows to assign quotas to distinct or shared data types. This MAY include data types the client does not recognise. Clients MUST ignore any unknown data type in the list. The quota object MAY contain the following fields: * warnLimit: "UnsignedInt|null" The warn limit set by this quota object, using the "resourceType" defined as unit of measure. It can be used to send a warning to an entity about to reach the hard limit soon, but with no action taken yet. If set, it SHOULD be lower than the "softLimit" (if present and different from null) and the "limit". * softLimit: "UnsignedInt|null" The soft limit set by this quota object, using the "resourceType" defined as unit of measure. It can be used to still allow some operations, but refuse some others. What is allowed or not is up to the server. For example, it could be used for blocking outgoing events of an entity (sending emails, creating calendar events, ...) while still receiving incoming events (receiving emails, receiving calendars events, ...). If set, it SHOULD be higher than the "warnLimit" (if present and different from null) but lower than the "limit". * description: "String|null" Arbitrary free, human-readable, description of this quota. It might be used to explain where the different limits come from and explain the entities and data types this quota applies to. The description MUST be encoded in UTF-8 [RFC3629] as described in [RFC8620] section 1.5, selected based on an Accept-Language header in the request (as defined in [RFC9110], Section 12.5.4) or out- of-band information about the user's language/locale. The following JMAP methods are supported. Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 5] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 4.2. Quota/get Standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620] section 5.1. The _ids_ argument may be "null" to fetch all Quotas of the account at once, as demonstrated in this document in Section 5.1. 4.3. Quota/changes Standard "/changes" method as described in [RFC8620] section 5.2 but with one extra argument in the response: * updatedProperties: "String[]|null" If only the "used" Quota property has changed since the old state, this will be a list containing only that property. If the server is unable to tell if only "used" has changed, it MUST be null. Since "used" frequently changes but other properties are generally only changed rarely, the server can help the client optimise data transfer by keeping track of changes to Quota usage separate from other state changes. The updatedProperties array may be used directly via a back-reference in a subsequent Quota/get call in the same request, so only these properties are returned if nothing else has changed. Servers MAY decide to add other properties to the list that they judge to be changing frequently. This method's usage is demonstrated in this document at Section 5.2. 4.4. Quota/query This is a standard "/query" method as described in [RFC8620], Section 5.5. A *FilterCondition* object has the following properties, any of which may be included or omitted: * name: "String" The Quota _name_ property contains the given string. * scopes: "Scope" The Quota _scope_ property must match the given value exactly. * resourceTypes: "ResourceType" Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 6] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 The Quota _resourceType_ property must match the given value exactly. * dataTypes: "String[]" The Quota _dataTypes_ property must contain the elements in this list to match the condition. A Quota object matches the FilterCondition if and only if all the given conditions match, including multiple array elements existing within a condition. If zero properties are specified, it is automatically true for all objects. The following Quota properties MUST be supported for sorting: * name * used 4.5. Quota/queryChanges This is a standard "/queryChanges" method as described in [RFC8620], Section 5.6. 5. Examples 5.1. Fetching quotas Request fetching all quotas related to an account : [[ "Quota/get", { "accountId": "u33084183", "ids": null }, "0" ]] With response : Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 7] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 [[ "Quota/get", { "accountId": "u33084183", "state": "78540", "list": [{ "id": "2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e", "resourceType": "count", "used": 1056, "warnLimit": 1600, "softLimit": 1800, "hardLimit": 2000, "scope": "account", "name": "bob@example.com", "description": "Personal account usage. When the soft limit is reached, the user is not allowed to send mails or create contacts and calendar events anymore.", "dataTypes" : [ "Mail", "Calendar", "Contact" ] }, { "id": "3b06df0e-3761-4s74-a92f-74dcc963501x", "resourceType": "octets", ... }, ...], "notFound": [] }, "0" ]] 5.2. Requesting latest quota changes Request fetching the changes for a specific quota: [[ "Quota/changes", { "accountId": "u33084183", "sinceState": "78540", "maxChanges": 20 }, "0" ], [ "Quota/get", { "accountId": "u33084183", "#ids": { "resultOf": "0", "name": "Quota/changes", "path": "/updated" }, "#properties": { "resultOf": "0", "name": "Quota/changes", "path": "/updatedProperties" } }, "1" ]] With response: Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 8] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 [[ "Quota/changes", { "accountId": "u33084183", "oldState": "78540", "newState": "78542", "hasMoreChanges": false, "updatedProperties": ["used"], "created": [], "updated": ["2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e"], "destroyed": [] }, "0" ], [ "Quota/get", { "accountId": "u33084183", "state": "10826", "list": [{ "id": "2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e", "used": 1246 }], "notFound": [] }, "1" ]] 6. Push Servers MUST support the JMAP push mechanisms, as specified in [RFC8620] Section 7, to allow clients to receive notifications when the state changes for the Quota type defined in this specification. 7. Security considerations All security considerations of JMAP ([RFC8620]) apply to this specification. Implementors should be careful to make sure the implementation of the extension specified in this document does not violate the site's security policy. The resource usage of other users is likely to be considered confidential information and should not be divulged to unauthorized persons. As for any resource shared across users (for example, a quota with the "domain" or "global" scope), a user that can consume the resource can affect the resources available to the other users. For example, a user could spam themselves with events and make the shared resource hit the limit and unusable for others (implementors could mitigate that with some rate limiting implementation on the server). Also, revealing domain and global quota counts to all users may cause privacy leakage of other sensitive data, or at least the existence of other sensitive data. For example, some users are part of a private list belonging to the server, so they shouldn't know how many users Cordier Expires 4 August 2023 [Page 9] Internet-Draft JMAP Quotas January 2023 are in there. But by comparing the quota count before and after sending a message to the list, it could reveal the number of people of the list, as the domain or global quota count would go up by the number of people subscribed. In order to limit those attacks, quotas with "domain" or "global" scope SHOULD only be visible to server administrators and not to general users. 8. IANA Considerations 8.1. JMAP Capability Registration for "quota" IANA will register the "quota" JMAP Capability as follows: Capability Name: "urn:ietf:params:jmap:quota" Specification document: this document Intended use: common Change Controller: IETF Security and privacy considerations: this document, Section 7. 9.
