[HTCondor-users] new htcondor_qusers features

[Matthew T West <m.t.west@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good evening Condor devs,

I see that `condor_qusers` has gotten some new features, particularly the ability to add (& edit existing?) custom attributes in User ClassAds. https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man-pages/condor_qusers.html

This is great to see!

Some associated feature requests if that's OK.

• Being able to add & edit these ClassAds via htcondor python bindings.
• Connect up User ClassAds and the accounting-groups functionality, ala rather than writing an explicit map file, each user ClassAd could have a list of groups they are in, if any. Though I figure this may require some more radical plumbing changes.

Cheers,
Matt

P.S. - if anyone cares about the context, I am trying to write an HTCondor plugin for the ColdFront allocation management system akin to the existing one for Slurm. https://github.com/ubccr/coldfront/tree/main/coldfront/plugins/slurm
