Editing max reservation times for specific Computers\Images

["Hartl, Gerhard L." <GH...@odu.edu>]

Is there a way to create a permissions hierarchy that allows for a specific user group to have specific max reservation times for a specific computer/image group?  It seems that rights are being added together as opposed to actual following the permissions hierarchy. 

For example, let's assume a user is part of User Group A and User Group B.  User group A has max reservation time set to 4 hrs. and user group B has max reservation time set to 48 hrs.  The permissions hierarchy is configured so that user group A can access computer group A\image group A and user group B is configured for computer group B\image group B.  

Although the permissions tree is completely separated and nothing is inherited, the user is receiving the 48hr max reservation time on both the group A Computers\Images along with the intended Group B Computers\Images.  Is there any way to make this work as I intended?

Please advise,

Thanks!

Gerhard,

The max reservation time associated with a user group is not related to 
privilege tree association to image group access.  A user's max selectable 
time for creating an image is just the max allowed of all groups of which that 
user is a member.

There is an undocumented feature that may be helpful, depending on what you 
are wanting to do.  There is a field in the image table named maxinitialtime.  
That field takes precedent over user group max initial times.  You'd have to 
manually set the value in the database.  The unit of the field is minutes.
