GE and UGE man pages are not clear about the scope of "-p" priority values when a user uses it. It's been a long time since I needed this and I wanted to confirm the scope of the behavior ..

Use case:

- I need to submit 100 personal jobs as "dag" with 10 jobs being slightly more important than others
 - I'm not an admin so I can't use priority values higher than 0

What I'd like to do:

 - Submit 90 jobs with "-p -100" since I can't use value higher than zero
 - Submit 10 jobs with "-p -10" to give priority to my 10 special tasks

My question:

- Does my use of "-p" to send lower-than-zero values for my submitted jobs affect just MY jobs and the order in which they get dispatched or will I end up penalizing myself globally because all the other jobs from other users on the cluster are running with default "-p" values of 0 assigned to them?
