title: Overriding the Default Limit for a Namespace

Although the **Namespace Default Limit** propagates from the project to each namespace when created, in some cases, you may need to increase (or decrease) the quotas for a specific namespace. In this situation, you can override the default limits by editing the namespace.
In the diagram below, the Rancher administrator has a resource quota in effect for their project. However, the administrator wants to override the namespace limits for `Namespace 3` so that it has more resources available. Therefore, the administrator [raises the namespace limits]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/projects-and-namespaces/) for `Namespace 3` so that the namespace can access more resources.

How to: [Editing Namespace Resource Quotas]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/projects-and-namespaces/)
### Editing Namespace Resource Quotas
If there is a [resource quota]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/projects-and-namespaces/resource-quotas) configured for a project, you can override the namespace default limit to provide a specific namespace with access to more (or less) project resources.
1. From the **Global** view, open the cluster that contains the namespace for which you want to edit the resource quota.
1. From the main menu, select **Projects/Namespaces**.
1. Find the namespace for which you want to edit the resource quota. Select **&#8942; > Edit**.
1. Edit the Resource Quota **Limits**. These limits determine the resources available to the namespace. The limits must be set within the configured project limits.
For more information about each **Resource Type**, see [Resource Quotas]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/projects-and-namespaces/resource-quotas/).
>**Note:**
>
>- If a resource quota is not configured for the project, these options will not be available.
>- If you enter limits that exceed the configured project limits, Rancher will not let you save your edits.
**Result:** Your override is applied to the namespace's resource quota.
