Creation of a new user of Mufasa
Only people with a Linux user account on Mufasa can access the machine and interact with it. Only Linux users registered to SLURM's accounting system can use SLURM to run jobs.
All requests for the creation of new users and their registration to SLURM's accounting must be authorized by a member of the academic staff in charge of Mufasa.
Requests are done by writing an email
- TO: Giulio Fontana
- CC: the person who authorizes the request
The email must specify:
- name and surname of the person that the new Linux user is associated to
- (POLIMI) email address of the person
- user category, which can be either student (for M.Sc. students) or researcher (for everyone else, including Ph.D. students)
- the research group that the person belongs to, among those listed in Group names below
- who authorizes the request
User names
Mufasa usernames have the form xyyy (all lowercase), where x is the first letter of the first name of the person, and yyy is their surname (or part of it if it's too long). For instance, a person called Mario Rossi will be assigned username mrossi.
If multiple users with the same surname and first letter of the first name exist, those created after the very first one are given usernames including a two-digit counter: mrossi, mrossi01, mrossi02 and so on.
Group names
On Linux machines such as Mufasa, users belong to groups. On Mufasa, groups are used to identify the research group that a specific user is part of. Assigment of Mufasa's users to groups follow these rules:
- All users corresponding to physical people belong to group
users - Additionally, each user must belong to one and only one of the following groups:
cartcas, i.e. CartCasLab (prof. Cerveri);biomech, i.e. Biomechanics Research Group (prof. Votta);nearmrs, i.e. Medical Robotics Section of NearLab (prof. De Momi);nearnes, i.e. NeuroEngineering Section of NearLab (prof. Ferrante);bio, for BioEngineering users not belonging to any of the research groups listed above.
The person cited within brackets is the faculty who is in charge of Mufasa for each group.
