Limits for users
and user groups
Per-user limits on
users and groups
If a limit is specified for a host group, the total amount of a resource used by
all hosts in that group is counted. If a host is a member of more than one
group, each job running on that host is counted against the limit for all groups
to which the host belongs.
Jobs are normally queued on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis. It is
possible for some users to abuse the system by submitting a large number of
jobs; jobs from other users must wait until these jobs complete. Limiting
resources by user prevents users from monopolizing all the resources.
Users can submit an unlimited number of jobs, but if they have reached their
limit for any resource, the rest of their jobs stay pending, until some of their
running jobs finish or resources become available.
If a limit is specified for a user group, the total amount of a resource used by
all users in that group is counted. If a user is a member of more than one
group, each of that user’s jobs is counted against the limit for all groups to
which that user belongs.
Use the keyword all to configure limits that apply to each user or user group
in a cluster. This is useful if you have a large cluster but only want to exclude
a few users from the limit definition.
Per-user limits are enforced on each user or individually to each user in the
user group listed. If a user group contains a subgroup, the limit also applies to
each member in the subgroup recursively.
Per-user limits that use the keywords all apply to each user in a cluster. If user
groups are configured, the limit applies to each member of the user group, not
the group as a whole.
