Re: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor 9 permissions issue

Hi Mike,

In the default security configuration, condor_rm seems to be restricted to the condor user:

sudo -H -u condor bash -c 'condor_rm <job id or user>' 

If someone has a snippet to allow users to delete their own jobs, that would be great (literally had a request like this yesterday).

Cheers,

Luke

Subject: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor 9 permissions issue

 

Hello!

 

We are running a HTCondor 9.0 pool on Rocky Linux. Recently, we are finding some held jobs are impossible to remove. As an example, here’s what we get:

$ condor_rm 3814

Couldn't find/remove all jobs in cluster 3814

$ condor_rm 3814.0

Permission denied to remove job 3814.0

 

Same responses for condor_release.

 

Our configuration on the submitting machine is like this:

In  00-htcondor-9.0.config

 

# use security:host_based

use security:recommended_v9_0

 

and in 01-submit.config

# For details, run condor_config_val use role:get_htcondor_submit

use role:get_htcondor_submit

 

We do not have a ALLOW_ADMINISTRATORS knob dialed in. Should we allow $(IP_ADDRESS)? Any other permissions come to mind?

 

Many thanks

Mike
