Description of problem:

We needed to run job_publisher processes under condor_master but as the condor user.  This seemed like something condor_master should be able to accomplish, and indeed it can.  The configuration option, however, is undocumented in the Condor manual:

<SUBSYS>_USERID

I found that implementation at:
src/condor_master.V6/masterDaemon.cpp, around line 630.

Could someone get that documented in the Condor manual upstream?

Sample job publisher configuration snapped into condor_ha_scheduler role :

# JobPublisher config
SPOOLDIR = /studio/common/condor/spool
JPBROKER = amqp:tcp:lgb:5672
JPQUEUE = MRGJobQueue
JPINTERVAL = 5

JP = /usr/local/bin/job_publisher
JP_ARGS = --file $(SPOOLDIR)/gld-default/job_queue.log --broker $(JPBROKER) --address $(JPQUEUE) --interval $(JPINTERVAL)
JP_USERID = condor
JP_LOG = $(LOG)/jp.log
DAEMON_LIST = $(DAEMON_LIST), JP

MASTER_HA_LIST = $(MASTER_HA_LIST), SCHEDD, JP
SPOOL = $(SPOOLDIR)/gld-default
HA_LOCK_URL = file:/studio/common/condor/lock
VALID_SPOOL_FILES = $(VALID_SPOOL_FILES), SCHEDD.lock, JP.lock
SCHEDD_NAME = gld-default@

In the condor_master config variables section of the Appendix:

<varlistentry>
		<term> <command><replaceable>SUBSYSTEM</replaceable>_USERID</command></term>
		 <listitem>
			<para>
				Specifies the userid under which a subsystem should run.
			</para>
		</listitem>
</varlistentry>

Will be available on the stage for review shortly.
