    setting attributes in the resource group objects to define policies for storage resources to be associated with a corresponding new resource group;

    reassigning the existing non-administrator from the default user resource scope to a new user resource scope;

    reassigning the existing storage resources from the default resource group to the new resource group; and

    applying the policies and access scopes allowing the existing non-administrator to create new storage resources within a scope of the corresponding new user resource scope.
