USER_GROUP
Syntax
USER_GROUP=all
| [user_name] [user_group] ...
Description
Optional. A space-separated list of user names or user groups who can submit jobs to
the service class. Administrators, root, and all users or groups listed can use the service
class.
Use the reserved word
all to specify all LSF users. LSF cluster administrators are
automatically included in the list of users, so LSF cluster administrators can submit jobs
to any service class, or switch any user’s jobs into this service class, even if they are not
listed.
If user groups are specified in
lsb.users, each user in the group can submit jobs to
this service class. If a group contains a subgroup, the service class policy applies to each
member in the subgroup recursively. If the group can define fairshare among its
members, the SLA defined by the service class enforces the fairshare policy among the
users of the SLA.
User names must be valid login names. User group names can be LSF user groups (in
lsb.users) or UNIX and Windows user groups.
Example USER_GROUP=user1 user2 ugroup1
Default
all
(all users in the cluster can submit jobs to the service class)
