config - What does SGE mean by "positive submission priority requires operator privileges"? -

i relatively new sge , encountering error when try run jobs:

"system error message: unable run job: job rejected: positive submission priority requires operator privileges."

i have added several users, created access list (users) , added them it, set user_lists = users in main queue.

do users each need added operators list well? why this?

as error message implies, priority of jobs submitting, , value illegal? priority of jobs regular users cannot positive:

-p priority               available qsub, qsh, qrsh, qlogin , qalter only.                defines  or redefines priority of job relative other jobs.  prior-               ity integer in range -1023 1024.  default priority value               jobs 0.                users may decrease priority of jobs.  grid engine managers ,               administrators may increase priority  associated   jobs.  if                pending  job has higher priority, earlier eligible being dispatched               grid engine scheduler. 

in general, users should not operators. operator admin user. so, suspect submitting job illegal default priority. maybe set invalid value in sge_request config file?

example sge_request file in $sge_root/default/common/sge_request:
