    NAME
         access_list - Grid Engine access list file format

    DESCRIPTION
         Access lists are used in Grid Engine to define  access  per-
         missions  of users to queues (see queue_conf(5)) or parallel
         environments (see sge_pe(5)).  A list of  currently  config-
         ured  access  lists  can  be displayed via the qconf(1) -sul
         option. The contents of each enlisted access list can  shown
         via  the -su switch. The output follows the access_list for-
         mat description. New access lists can be created and  exist-
         ing can be modified via the -au and -du options to qconf(1).

         Departments are a special form of access list and  allow  in
         addition  assignment of functional shares and override tick-
         ets.

    FORMAT
         The following list of access_list parameters  specifies  the
         access_list content:

      name
         The name of the access list.

      type
         The type of the acess list, currently  one  of ACL, or  DEPT
         or a  combination of both in a comma separated list. Depend-
         ing on this parameter the access list can be used as  access
         list only or as a department.

      oticket
         The amount of override tickets  currently  assigned  to  the
         department.

      fshare
         The current functional share of the department.

      entries
         The entries parameter contains the comma separated  list  of
         those  UNIX  users  or UNIX user groups that are assigned to
         the access list or the department. Only symbolic  names  are
         allowed.  A group is differentiated from a user name by pre-
         fixing the group name with a '@'  sign.  Pure  access  lists
         allows enlisting any user or group in any access list.

         With departments each user or group enlisted may be enlisted
         in  only  one  department,  to ensure a unique assignment of
         jobs to departments. To jobs whose users do not  match  with
         any  of  the  users  or  groups  enlisted  under entries the
         defaultdepartment is assigned, if existing.
