We do the same thing by making the package in a particular group. We make
the module world readable and use the userInGroup("magic_group") function.
This function returns true if the user is root or the user is in the group
specified.
local err_message = [[
You do not have access to VASP.5.3.5!
Users have to show their licenses and be confirmed by the
VASP team that they are registered users under that license.
Scan a copy of the license and send it to [email protected]
]]
if (userInGroup("namd_group")) then
local vasp_dir="/opt/apps/intel15/mvapich2_2_1/vasp/5.3.5"
setenv("TACC_VASP_DIR",vasp_dir)
setenv("TACC_VASP_BIN",pathJoin(vasp_dir,"bin"))
prepend_path("PATH",pathJoin(vasp_dir,"bin"))
else
LmodError(err_message,"\n")
end
I hope this helps too!
