NAME

       access_list - Sun Grid Engine access list file format

DESCRIPTION

       Access  lists are used in Sun Grid Engine to define access permissions of users to queues (see queue_conf(5)) or parallel environments (see
       sge_pe(5)).  A list of currently configured access lists can be displayed via the qconf(1) -sul	option.  The  contents	of  each  enlisted
       access list can shown via the -su switch. The output follows the access_list format description. New access lists can be created and exist-
       ing can be modified via the -au and -du options to qconf(1).

       Departments are a special form of access list that additionally allow assignment of functional shares and override tickets.

       Note, Sun Grid Engine allows backslashes () be used to escape newline (
ewline) characters. The backslash and the  newline  are  replaced
       with a space (" ") character before any interpretation.

FORMAT

       The following list of access_list parameters specifies the access_list content:

   name
       The name of the access list as defined for userset_name in sge_types(1).

   type
       The type of the access list, currently  one  of ACL, or DEPT or a  combination of both in a comma separated list. Depending on this parame-
       ter the access list can be used as access list only or as a department.

   oticket
       The amount of override tickets currently assigned to the department.

   fshare
       The current functional share of the department.

   entries
       The entries parameter contains the comma separated list of those UNIX users (see user_name in sge_types(1)) or those  primary  UNIX  groups
       that  are  assigned to the access list or the department. Only a user's primary UNIX group is used; secondary groups are ignored. Only sym-
       bolic names are allowed.  A group is differentiated from a user name by prefixing the group name with a '@' sign.  Pure access lists  allow
       enlisting any user or group in any access list.

       When  using departments, each user or group enlisted may only be enlisted in one department, in order to ensure a unique assignment of jobs
       to departments.	To jobs whose users do not match with any of the users or groups enlisted under entries the defaultdepartment is assigned,
       if existing.
