About User Groups
User groups act as aliases for lists of users. The administrator can also limit the total
number of running jobs belonging to a user or a group of users.
You can define user groups in LSF in several ways:
◆ Use existing user groups in the configuration files
◆ Create LSF-specific user groups
◆ Use an external executable to retrieve user group members
If desired, you can use all three methods, provided the user and group names are
different.
