Re: [HTCondor-users] new htcondor_qusers features

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

Hi Jaime,

Glad you think so, and I know that the python bindings v2 is a work in progress, so will set that aside.

Some additional questions regarding `qusers` & accounting groups

• Can one use the -pool &/or -name options along with add|edit|disable?
• What unix accounts (condor?) have permissions to change User ClassAds?
• What is the difference between Submitter and User ClassAds? The latter I don't see in the docs as a possible type.
• One could use the accounting_groups attribute in the User ad to validate the use of a particular accounting group in a Job ad, right?
• Does HTCondor already have the capability to use the accounting_group from the job ad to direct the work towards particular EPs, but not forcing them to do so?
  

I would have asked a bunch of these in person at Nikhef later this month, but sadly I cannot make time to go to the workshop. Hence dumping them here.

Cheers,
Matt

These are both excellent ideas. The python bindings are something we havenât gotten to yet.

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
