#34 Access to working directory

[A Stephen McGough]

GridSAM should provide access right to working directories

GridSAM provide no access right to the working directory. It is bad news for scientists who has been used to keeping an eye on the intermediate result generated by the running job, and then deciding whether to keep the job running or to terminate it. Until the StageOut operation has been done, or you will never see the output of your job.

We have commit a init version to the branches/ict of the SVN.

Now each global user who submits a job will have a private working directory owned by the local user defined in the usermap_config.xml.

Know problems:
1) We use a folder in /tmp to serve as the temp working directory when staging-in or staging-out, and move it to or from the working directory and assign the right owner. So that when staging-in or staging-out the temp working directory is not safe.
