It depends on the type of your user storage system and quota presence. Additional tab will appear if you have shadow passwords, or any other similar things such as /etc/master.passwd in BSD flavour Unices.
In 'User Info' tab you may modify: Full name, Login shell (the list of login shells is taken from /etc/shells file), Home directory, extra info, User ID, Password.
'Extended' tab will appear if you have shadow passwords, or any other similar things such as /etc/master.passwd in BSD flavour Unices. There you may modify parameters related to extended account control: Date until change allowed, Date before change required, Date user will be warned about expiration, Date before account inactive, Date when account expires, and Class (on BSD systems).

There you may modify all quota related parameters: File Soft Quota, File Hard Quota, File Time Limit (Grace Period), iNode Soft Quota, iNode Hard Quota, iNode Time Limit (Grace Period). All this parameters may be changed for each filesystem, which has user quota enabled. Filesystems may be changed using 'Quota filesystem' combobox.
