Dear edwinbeka

At the moment, all introductory SEPAL accounts come with a very low default value for resources. If you exceed those resources, you can send an e-mail to erik.lindquist@fao.org and we will increase them for you. Nearly every day, a check is made on user resources and they are automatically increased. Sometimes, however, this check is not made and an e-mail helps us to increase resources.

Anyway, your resources have been increased. We look forward to hearing about what you are able to do with SEPAL.

Best
Erik
