    You can set the quota for their account. That will limit the total space for that user.

    If you have a WHM access then you can edit disk quota for a particular account from WHM -> List accounts -> Click on "quota" tab for the user -> set the new disk limit -> Save.

    I guess you are not talking about the total disk space allotted to an user.
    Instead you want to limit the individual file size.
    If you are uploading the files via some php script then you can alter the variable 'upload_max_filesize' in the 'php.ini' file.
    If something else is being used then it is possible that its configuration can be customized accordingly.

    This functionality is not native to cPanel/WHM at this time. If you do implement such functionality yourself, be sure to account for the various methods files can be uploaded such as Web Disk, FTP, SFTP, File Manager, Legacy File Manager and website scripts designed for uploading files.
