2.7. Setting Gear Supplementary Groups

When the broker creates a gear, the gear is assigned a UNIX user UID and a matching group UID. Additional groups to the gears on a node can be assigned so that you can make group-owned files available to all the gears on the node.

Use the GEAR_SUPL_GRPS setting in /etc/openshift/node.conf file to designate additional groups for the gears on that node. Note that you must create a group using standard system commands before you can add it to GEAR_SUPL_GRPS. Separate multiple groups with commas.

GEAR_SUPL_GRPS="my_group,another_group"

GEAR_SUPL_GRPS="my_group,another_group"
