Bank: the central service of the accounting system that maintains and enforces allocation quotas.

LUTS: The Logging and Usage Tracking Service (LUTS) is a general purpose logging system for tracking resource usage in SGAS. It allows secure publication and query-based retrieval of usage data in the format of GGF UsageRecord XML.

JARM: The Job Account Reservation Manager (JARM) is a component responsible for integrating various workload managers, schedulers and local accounting systems deployed at the resource sites with SGAS. JARM is typically used as a callout to the bank during the job submission phase. The bank then issues a time-limited reservation to run the job, based on user, resource and bank policy. After the job has completed the job is logged in LUTS, and if a valid account reservation was made, JARM also charges the account in the Bank, and releases the reservation on behalf of the resource.

PAT: The Policy Administration Tool (PAT) component is designed to be used to manage the security policies of all of the SGAS services. It contains a command line tool that can be run in interactive or batch mode for easy scripting.
