UNCLASSIFIED

Thanks matt. I have tested this and can confirm that adding
+AccountingGroup = "GLOBAL_GROUP" to the ClassAd allows one users jobs
to pre-empt others based on the specified priority (provided they are in
the same group).

Priority turns into the JobPrio attribute on the job, and

  priority = <integer>
    A  Condor job priority can be any integer, with 0 being the default.
    Jobs with higher numerical priority will run before jobs with  lower
    numerical  priority. Note that this priority is on a per user basis.
    One user with many jobs may use this command to  order  his/her  own
    jobs, and this will have no effect on whether or not these jobs will
    run ahead of another user's jobs.

If you have one Schedd and all jobs are in the same AccountingGroup (or
submitted by the same User) then you may experience a "global" priority.

Best,


matt
