Mmmmmh, wouldn’t it make sense to use that userInGroup function in EB? I didn’t know it existed, but for sure the modules generated with EB don’t use it, even if the .eb file has a “group” key.
Who’s going to make that PR? :-P From: Robert McLay <[email protected]> Date: Monday 20 February 2017 at 18:18 To: "Alvarez, Damian" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, lmod-users <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Lmod-users] NAMD license validation 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]<mailto:[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!

Access to others is not allowed. To add users to that group they have to send us proof that they acquired a license. I believe there is also an arrangement to communicate with the NAMD developers which users have access to the software, even though I might recall wrong and that might be for another software. I hope that helps! Damian On 20/02/17 17:11, "Maxime Boissonneault" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, I would like to know how various sites handle NAMD licensing. The license seem to imply that each user has to have the license (similar to VASP). However, I could find many sites who do this check, while others don't. Do you do it at your site ? -- --------------------------------- Maxime Boissonneault Analyste de calcul - Calcul Québec, Université Laval Président - Comité de coordination du soutien à la recherche de Calcul Québec Team lead - Research Support National Team, Compute Canada Instructeur Software Carpentry Ph.
