Description

FS scheduler should have some mechanism to authorize people who can access the advanced scheduler url http://jobtracker.com:port/scheduler . In large clusters , which has hundreds of users, any user can access the url now and change the priority of his/her runing job. We don't want the users to change the job priority. So we should restrcit users accessing the link and only admins should have access to the link.
