Hi Lee,

What we actually did is the following:

condor_config
-------------------------------------------------------------


[...]

RESOURCE_GROUP = $(ETH_GROUP)
JOB_GROUP = $(ETH_GROUP)
SUBMIT_EXPRS = JOB_GROUP
STARTD_EXPRS = RESOURCE_GROUP

# start jobs of everybody on the tardis cluster
IS_ALLOWED =  ( \
         MY.RESOURCE_GROUP == TARGET.JOB_GROUP || \
         MY.RESOURCE_GROUP == TARGET.USER_GROUP || \
         MY.RESOURCE_GROUP == "itet" \
)

IS_LOCAL =  ( \
         MY.RESOURCE_GROUP == TARGET.JOB_GROUP || \
         MY.RESOURCE_GROUP == TARGET.USER_GROUP \
)

START = $(UWCS_START) && $(IS_ALLOWED)
RANK = $(IS_LOCAL)

[..]

-------------------------------------------------------

About tardis-cluster: These are public machines for
students/... --> Shared pool that is accessible
to all users.

On each host, there is a second config file that is included
in condor_config:

ETH_DEPT = "itet"
ETH_GROUP = "itet" # or any other lab


Currently, the submitter machine determines the set of machines on
which Condor will run. This is in some cases confusing for the users.
To improve, We plan to set the job group in condor_submit via Unix 
groups/environmen variables

JOB_GROUP=$ENV(GROUP)

Regards,
Anton
