bconf command authentication

Regular users can run the bconf hist command queries. Only cluster administrators and root can run all bconf commands.

All requests by the bconf command must be made from static servers; bconf command requests from dynamic hosts or client hosts are not accepted.

User group administrators can do the following depending on their rights:

With usershares rights, user group administrators can adjust user shares by using the bconf update, addmember, or rmmember commands
With full rights, user group administrators can adjust both user shares and group members by using the bconf update command, delete the user group by using the bconf delete command, and create new user groups by using the bconf create command.

Note: User group admins with full rights can add a user group member to the user group only if they also have full rights for the member user group.

If a user group administrator adds a user group with the bconf create command, the user group administrator is automatically added to the GROUP_ADMIN parameter in the lsb.users file with full rights for the new user group.

For more information about user group administrators, see User groups in LSF and lsb.users.
