groups

The directives xpd.allowedusers and xpd.allowedgroups can be used to control which users and groups (UNIX or PROOF) are allowed to start PROOF sessions on the cluster. The policy is described in this section.

NB: the functionality described in this page is not not yet in the SVN trunk. There is no release date yet, as the addressed use-case has changed in the meanwhile, and a working solution has been found in some cases.

Contents:

As mentioned above, PROOF provides several ways to control how resources are used. Load-balancing during a query is provided by the packetizer and it is discussed elsewhere. In this section we focus on the available options to control the number of assigned workers, the number and the priority of running sessions.

Please note that the functionality discussed in this section has been gradually introduced in PROOF, so some of the options are only available in the latest version or in the trunk.
