Hello,

I wondered if someone would be able to advise me on how to limit access to a 
group of resources, please.

We have just installed a set of 6 GPU nodes. These nodes belong to a research 
department and both staff and students will potentially need access to the 
nodes. I need to ensure that only these two groups of users have access to the 
nodes. The general public should not have access to the resources. Access to 
the nodes is a 50/50 split between the two groups, and staff should be able to 
run much longer jobs than students. Those are the constraints.

How can I do the above? I assume I put the users into two account groups -- 
staff and students, for example. Then I could use the groups to limit access to 
the partition. How do I best use a QOS to limit the number of nodes used/group 
and the walltime allowed? Should/can I apply a QOS to the account group, or the 
partition. My thought was to have two overlapping partitions each with the 
relevant QOS and account group access control. Perhaps I am making this too 
complicated. I would appreciate your advice, please.

Best regards,
David
