[Condor-users] restricting access to certain condor commands

["Steven Platt" <Steven.Platt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I’m about to let some test users loose on a small linux cluster and it occurs to me that I’m going to want to restrict which condor_* commands they can run.

On the only submit node, all condor_* commands are in the /opt/condor/bin/ directory. Can I simply modify the permissions on these files so that regular users can only run e.g. condor_submit, condor_status & condor_q, and I (as admin) become part of the group owner who can run them all?

 

Or is there some internal command-calling by condor that will be severely shafted by this sort of change?

 

Thanks

 

Steve
