How do I add a new account for a SLURM user?

I'm trying to use sacctmgr modify to update user information, but I'm having a hard time understanding what the syntax should be:

# sacctmgr modify user name=USERNAME set acct+=GROUP
 Unknown option: acct+=GROUP
 Use keyword 'where' to modify condition
# sacctmgr modify user name=USERNAME set account+=GROUP
 Unknown option: account+=GROUP
 Use keyword 'where' to modify condition

(This is for Slurm version 17.11.3-2)

Solution

  • A user+account combination is treated as an association in SLURM. To create a new association, just "create" a new user with the new account, for example:

    sacctmgr create user name=USERNAME account=GROUP
