LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

lsb.users
The lsb.users file is used to configure user groups, hierarchical fairshare for users and user groups, and job slot limits
for users and user groups. It is also used to configure account mappings in a MultiCluster environment.
This file is optional.
The lsb.users file is stored in the directory LSB_CONFDIR/cluster_name/configdir, where LSB_CONFDIR is
defined in lsf.conf.
Changing lsb.users configuration
After making any changes to lsb.users, run badmin reconfig to reconfigure mbatchd.
UserGroup section
Optional. Defines user groups.
The name of the user group can be used in other user group and queue definitions, as well as
on the command line. Specifying the name of a user group has exactly the same effect as listing
the names of all users in the group.
The total number of user groups cannot be more than MAX_GROUPS in lsbatch.h.
Structure
The first line consists of two mandatory keywords, GROUP_NAME and
GROUP_MEMBER. The USER_SHARES keyword is optional. Subsequent lines name a group
and list its membership and optionally its share assignments.
Each line must contain one entry for each keyword. Use empty parentheses () or a dash - to
specify the default value for an entry.
Restriction:
If specifying a specific user name for a user group, that entry must
precede all user groups.
Example of a UserGroup section
Begin UserGroup
GROUP_NAME
GROUP_MEMBER
groupA (user1 user2 user3 user4)
groupB (groupA user5)
groupC (!)
End UserGroup
Begin UserGroup
GROUP_NAME GROUP_MEMBER USER_SHARES
groupB (user1 user2) ()
groupC (user3 user4) ([User3,3] [User4,4])
groupA (GroupB GroupC user5) ([User5,1] [default,10])
End UserGroup
GROUP_NAME
An alphanumeric string representing the user group name. You cannot use the reserved name
all or a / in a group name, and group names must not conflict with user names.
