Re: [HTCondor-users] User group in policy

[Nathan Smith <sminatha@xxxxxxxx>]

So it looks like it would have to be an explicit declaration in the submit script then, not something inferred from the submitting user's operating system group memberships? If that is the case, I'll probably stay away from AccountingGroups since it introduces userprio implications which we don't necessarily want.

If it does have to be something explicit in the submit script, we may use concurrency limits. We have another case for maxjobretirement time which allows a longer run time if the user opts in to a concurrency limit (we limit these longer-running jobs to 15 at the moment). We may replicate that here, but our users were hoping for something "automatic" based on group membership.

Hi Nathan,

Without having a condor-config in front of me to try it out in but I'd suggest the following.

Your job classad will have some form of AccountingGroup as classad value.

Coupling this with an ifThenElse should allow you to set a different maxjobretirementtime.

e.g.

------------------
MAXJOBRETIREMENTTIME = \
IfThenElse(AccountingGroup =?= "cms", 5,
MAXJOBRETIREMENTTIME)
------------------

Possibly not syntactically correct but it should give you a starting point.

We have a need to give users in a certain group a longer MAXJOBRETIREMENTTIME. So far I have not discovered the means for referencing the submitting user's group membership in policy. Can this be done?
