No, you can set individual quotas too. I just mentioned inheritance since it makes it easier to manage, and to highlight the kind of thing you need to think about with ZFS. Everything works in a very different way. With inherited quotas, if you ever wanted to increase everybody's quota, you could just change the quota on the main pool.
If you just set individual quotas, you would need to write a script of some kind to have the same effect. Either way, management of quotas is going to be very different to how it was with windows.
