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

Note, Grid Engine allows backslashes (\) be used to escape newline 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 in the format for userset_name in

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 parameter, the access list can be used as an access list only, or as a department.

oticket

The number of override tickets currently assigned to the department.

fshare

The current functional share of the department.

entries

A comma-separated list of those UNIX users (see user_name in 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 symbolic names are allowed. A group is differentiated from a user name by prefixing the group name with a '@' sign. Pure access lists allow listing any user or group in any access list.

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