Feature request: support for per-user enforcement about genv HOT 5 CLOSED

hi @crichardson332 and thanks for reaching out!
this sounds like a super relevant capability to add to Genv.
I also think that it won't take long to implement.

just to make sure, are you using the command genv remote enforce from one of the machines (with admin privileges) and want to enforce the usage of GPUs by students that are using genv remote activate commands?

or your setup includes only a single machine and we are talking about genv enforce and genv activate (w/o remote)

from genv.

hi @crichardson332
I just released Genv 1.1.0 which includes the functionality you asked for.
Although I agree that a configuration file is best for this case, it is not yet implemented in this way, and could be in a future version.

For now, you can pass the new --max-devices-for-user argument to genv enforce and genv remote enforce commands.
Using this argument you can pass user-specific maximum values for users.
It should be passed together with the existing --max-devices-per-user.

For example, by passing --max-devices-per-user 1 --max-devices-for-user john=3 paul=2, you enforce all users to use a single device at most, except for John and Paul which are allowed to use 3 and 2 respectively.

You can see more information here

Please let me know if this works for you or not.
Waiting to hear from you, and thanks again for reaching out!

hey @crichardson332 have you had the chance to test it?
