Re: [HTCondor-users] Block job submission from a given group

[Brian Bockelman <bbockelm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrea,

Actually, that's a feature of the upcoming 8.3.5 release (which was supposed to happen yesterday - but I assume got bumped to today?).

Since the release isn't out yet, I can't point to the documentation in the manual.  Here's the original ticket:

https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2640

With this, you could add:

SUBMIT_REQUIREMENT_NAMES = block_cms
SUBMIT_REQUIREMENT_block_cms = x509UserProxyVOName =!= "cms"
SUBMIT_REQUIREMENT_block_cms_REASON = "This schedd is temporarily blocking submission from the CMS VO."

A different-but-related feature of 8.3.5 is CURB_MATCHMAKING.  You can set:

CURB_MATCHMAKING = true

to temporarily block matchmaking for all jobs from the schedd.  See: https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=4905 .  I suppose a natural extension we could add is to evaluate this with respect to the job and/or submitter.  That would allow the schedd to queue submissions but not run them.
