Make sure all users under "admins" group can run all commands with "sudo" and without entering any password.
Edit the disk quota for the group called "devs". Limit the amount of storage space it can use (not inodes). Set a "soft" limit of "100MB" and a "hard" limit of "500MB" on "/data" partition.

Hi @Unlimited-Contents
Before you can attempt this, you must have successfully created the devs
group.
For the first one, you must use the visudo
command as root. Now the user bob
already has the rights required to do what the question asks, so you simply need to add an admins group entry with the same permissions as bob.
For the second one, establish what device the data directory is mounted on.
cat /etc/mtab | grep '/data'
The first column is the device path
Next, you must run
sudo edquota -g devs
and make the appropriate edits to that device
See Implementing quotas to restrict disk space usage - Linux.com, however all the steps required to enable quotas in the first place are already done in the lab.
