In the previous chapter, a view of the system was presented that largely ignored the presence of accounts and other advanced features in Gold. This chapter will touch on the additional versatility derived from explicit use of accounts and other advanced features.
![]() | You will need to be a Gold System Adminstrator to perform the tasks in this chapter! |
Let's assume that we have created users and machines as before in the Getting Started chapter (see Define Users and Define Machines). Again we will create some projects.
![]() | In these examples we assume that the account.autogen configuration parameter is NOT set to automatically create a default account for each project (see Server Configuration). |
Example 4-1. Now we will define the projects. This time we will define the project members at the same time.
For the biology project we will define a set of users and a default set of machines for the project. The specified default machine will be honored within accounts associated with this project that specify MEMBERS in the machine list.
$ gmkproject -d "Biology Department" -u amy,bob -m blue biology
Successfully created 1 Project
For the chemistry projects we will just define a set of member users.
$ gmkproject -d "Chemistry Department" -u amy,bob,dave chemistry
Successfully created 1 Project
Let's see what we've got so far in terms of projects.
$ glsproject
Name Active Users Machines Description ------------- --------- ------------------ ------------ ------------------------------ biology True amy,bob blue Biology Department chemistry True amy,dave,bob Chemistry Department
![]() | Note that accounts were not auto-generated this time because the account.autogen feature is set to false. |
