🌸 NAME 🌸

bkr-loan-grant — grants a loan for a Beaker system. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bkr loan-grant [options] <fqdn>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. you know how sometimes a system is just the system and somebody needs it all to themselves for a minute? that's the loan. bkr loan-grant grants a loan for a Beaker system. slay 💅

The designated user gets full permissions to reserve, provision and schedule jobs on that system — even if they would not normally have such access. like, the rules just don't apply to them for a while. main character energy, honestly 👑

And while a system is on loan, only the loan recipient and the system owner have permission to reserve or otherwise use the system. everyone else? not invited to the party 🙈

✨ New in version 0.15.2. yes we're serving history, periodt.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --recipient — the username of the loan recipient. defaults to the user issuing the command, so if you're feeling lazy it'll just be you 🫶
• --comment — a comment regarding the loan, like for example the reason for it. receipts, basically 📝

Common bkr options are described in the Options section of bkr(1). go check it, iykyk 💖

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

Non-zero on error, otherwise zero. that's it. no drama, no cap 🎯

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

Temporarily grant a user exclusive access to a particular system — watch and learn bestie:

bkr loan-grant --recipient jdoe system1.example.invalid
# jdoe now has almost exclusive access to use the system
bkr loan-return system1.example.invalid
# Either jdoe or a user with permission to loan the system to other users
# can return the granted loan

so yeah — grant it, let them cook, then return it. either jdoe or a user with permission to loan the system to other users can return the granted loan 🔥
