Hi Tina,
Good call - I prefer that the the scripting option. Would prefer native support (FEATURE REQUEST!) but sudo is definitely better than my idea! Would probably make it so the user sudos to a service account with Operator permission rather than root as that'll be more tolerable from a privilege escalation point of view. Thanks :-) Lawrence! ________________________________ From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com> on behalf of Tina Friedrich <tina.friedr...@it.ox.ac.uk> Sent: 16 May 2019 14:08 To: slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com Subject: Re: [slurm-users] User submitted advance reservations? (SGE qrsub equivalent) Hi Lawrence, no, as far as I can tell, SLURM doesn't have any way to allow users to submit/create advance reservations. Could you get around it with sudo? It would be easy to allow a group of user to run 'sudo scontrol create ....' (or a suitable wrapper script, to make the syntax easy). It'd get you around the 'too many permissions' issue. (The scripting one sounds very complicated, but workable :) ).
