LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

The first user account name in the list is the primary LSF administrator. It cannot be the root
user account.
Typically this account is named lsfadmin. It owns the LSF configuration files and log files for
job events. It also has permission to reconfigure LSF and to control batch jobs submitted by
other users. It typically does not have authority to start LSF daemons. Usually, only root has
permission to start LSF daemons.
All the LSF administrator accounts must exist on all hosts in the cluster before you install LSF.
Secondary LSF administrators are optional.
Caution:
You should not configure the root account as the primary LSF
administrator.
