I > hope this helps a bit. Your example of how to use 'Organisation' to setup separate groups within one department is illuminating. However, I am still unable to set up 'geochemie' as a sibling of 'geophysik' and a child of 'geowiss': $ sacctmgr list acc where account=geophysik Account Descr Org ---------- -------------------- -------------------- geophysik geophysik geowiss $ sacctmgr list acc where account=geochemie Account Descr Org ---------- -------------------- -------------------- $ sacctmgr add acc geochemie Description="Geochemie" Parent=geowiss Organization=geochemie No associations created. $ sacctmgr list acc where account=geochemie Account Descr Org ---------- -------------------- -------------------- So how do I get sacctmgr to show 'geochemie'? The dump created by 'sacctmgr' indicated that 'geochemie' exists and is a child of 'geowiss': Parent - 'geowiss' Account - 'geochemie':Fairshare=2 Account - 'geographie':Description='geographie':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=1 Account - 'geologie':Description='geologie':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=4 Account - 'geophysik':Description='geophysik':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=3 Account - 'meteorologie':Description='meteorologie':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=20 This is borne out by the contents of the database: mysql> select user,acct,id_assoc,parent_acct from soroban_assoc_table where acct like 'geo%'; +------+------------+----------+-------------+ | user | acct | id_assoc | parent_acct | +------+------------+----------+-------------+ | | geochemie | 909 | geowiss | | | geographie | 163 | geowiss | | | geologie | 223 | geowiss | | | geophysik | 296 | geowiss | | | geowiss | 56 | root | +------+------------+----------+-------------+ So this looks like a bug to me.
