The method further includes applying quota determination rules to the selected one or more offerings based on the associated resources, and rating the service request based on the selected one or more offerings and the results of applying the quota determination rules, where the rating results in an assigned quota. The method further includes transmitting the assigned quota for the requested service, where the assigned quota includes the granted service units.
