No, but -setfactor is permanent.   The "-setprio" flag adjusts the 
effective priority (which changes over time based on half-life decay of 
actual usage), and the "-setfactor" flag adjusts the priority factor. 
The priority factor setting can only be changed by an administrator via 
condor_userprio.  Priority factors is what you want to use to have 
HTCondor's 'fair share' algorithm proportionally favor certain users 
over others.

The Manual describes effective priority and priority factor, as well 
details on how they are used/computed, here:
