User groups in LSF

User groups act as aliases for lists of users. Administrators can also limit the total number of running jobs belonging to a user or a group of users.

How to define user groups
You can define an LSF user group within LSF or use an external executable to retrieve user group members.
Where to configure user groups
LSF user groups can be used in defining several configurations.
Configuring user groups
Configuring user group administrators
Import external user groups (egroup)
When the membership of a user group changes frequently, or when the group contains a large number of members, you can use an external executable called egroup to retrieve a list of members rather than having to configure the group membership manually. You can write a site-specific egroup executable that retrieves user group names and the users that belong to each group.
