LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference
PER_USER
Syntax
PER_USER=all [~]user_name ... | all [~]user_group ...
PER_USER
( [-] | all [~]user_name ... | all [~]user_group ... )
Description
A space-separated list of user names or user groups on which limits are enforced. Limits are
enforced on each user or individually to each user in the user group listed. If a user group
contains a subgroup, the limit also applies to each member in the subgroup recursively.
User names must be valid login names. User group names can be LSF user groups or UNIX
and Windows user groups. Note that for LSF and UNIX user groups, the groups must be
specified in a UserGroup section in lsb.users first.
Do not configure PER_USER and USERS limits in the same Limit section.
In horizontal format, use only one PER_USER line per Limit section.
Use the keyword all to configure limits that apply to each user in a cluster. If user groups are
configured, the limit applies to each member of the user group, not the group as a whole.
Use the not operator (~) to exclude users or user groups from the all specification in the limit.
This is useful if you have a large number of users but only want to exclude a few users from
the limit definition.
In vertical tabular format, multiple user names must be enclosed in parentheses.
In vertical tabular format, use empty parentheses () or a dash (-) to indicate user or user group
member. Fields cannot be left blank.
Default
None. If no limit is specified for PER_USER or USERS, no limit is enforced on any user or
user group.
Example
PER_USER=user1 user2 ugroup1 ~user3
PROJECTS
Syntax
PROJECTS=all [~]project_name ...
PROJECTS
( [-] | all [~]project_name ... )
Description
A space-separated list of project names on which limits are enforced. Limits are enforced on
all projects listed.
