Deadline - Render managers
From the second year on, every class has 2 render managers . The render managers from all years work together to make sure the farm runs smoothly, and its resources are divided fairly among all the years. Render managers also have admin level access in the deadline monitor, so they can adjust running jobs and worker settings if need be. Sometimes a job needs to be rushed out the door, render managers makes sure that can be done in a way that won't cause any conflicts! Here's a list of the current render managers:

Deadline - Temporarily disabling your worker
Sometimes you might not want your computer be used for farm rendering, for example when you're caching a heavy sim or need to use it for realtime rendering engines like Unreal. In this case you can temporarily disable farm rendering on your machine. Here's how: 

 First you need to open the Deadline monitor, select your worker and click on Modify Worker Properties . 

 

 There you can go to Extra Info  and fill in a reason for disabling your worker in the Local Activity field.  

 

 Once you've filled in a reason your computer will automatically be disabled on the farm. The Local Activity field gets reset every day at 9.30, so you'll have to fill it in again the next day if you want your computer to be disabled for longer. The Long-term Disable field will permanently disable your computer on the farm, but you'll have to ask your render manager first before you may fill that one in.
