It would be nice to be able to restrict interactive jobs to particular users.

Making a special queue for interactive use and attach a user list there should do the trick (qtype
INTERACTIVE, and remove INTERACTIVE from the other queue).

I suppose so, but I find the massive proliferation of different queues on the
same hosts for slightly different purposes very confusing and hard to maintain.

I on my side like this setup, as the idea behind SGE is in general: specify resource requests and SGE will
select an appropriate queue for you. This way you also have the option to grant different h_rt et al. to each
queue, means different users could get different restrictions for their interactive work.

Nevertheless, with the upcoming JSV (job submission verfier) you could put the test for the eligible users
there and reject users you don't like to do interactive work.

setting to P4 since there is a workaround
