Hello,

I am evaluating LSF community edition to see if it can be used for our HPC cluster. I am finding it hard to find the information on how to create projects and associate users to the projects in LSF cluster. Also, is there any command line tool that lists all projects and users associated with projects?

Thanks and sorry if these are basic questions. I am quite new to LSF!

Cheers

Mahendra

LSF project is created through job submission, bsub -P, project is directly associated with job rather user. 

But you may map project to user group, e.g. use bsub -G to submit job. Here are two doc links for LSF user group configuration and bugroup command.
