Re: [Condor-users] Group issues

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not an expert on group accounting in Condor, but my understanding 
is that you should be able to set +AccountGroup="<group>.<user>" in the 
submit file, assign the group a quota in your config file, and the 
result should be that each user within a group gets an independent 
priority and independent usage tracking, but the group as a whole will 
not be able to use more machines than you specified in the quota.
