That means the system has no idea who that user is.
If you are using /etc/passwd, that file is not synched on the slurm
master node(s)
If you are part of a domain or other shared directory (ldap, etc), your
master is likely not configured right.
If you are using SSSD, it is also possible your sssd has too long of a
cache time. Run "sss_cache -E" to clear everything.
Note: that doesn't always work well, so you can stop sssd, delete the
cache and restart.
If you have a forest, it could be the information has not propagated to
all the servers, so you have to wait.
I've been places where that can take 24 hours.

Hello all.
One of the users is unable to submit jobs to our cluster.
The first time he tries, he gets
$ sbatch test.job
sbatch: fatal: Invalid user id: 621049927
then:
$ sbatch test.job
sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid account or
account/partition combination specified
In slurmctl.log I see:
[2020-09-29T13:55:20.018] error: User 621049927 not found

(621049927 is the user's correct UID).
I suspected a PBIS glitch, but both "id studenti#name.surname" and "id
UID" returned the correct info.
I found an old thread suggesting to add DefaultAccount, and I tried that
even if it was already done by the script that imports AD users in Slurm
accounting.
# sacctmgr modify user studenti#name.surname cluster=oph set
DefaultAccount=materia
The db seems OK:
# sacctmgr list user STUDENTI#name.surname WithAssoc

What am I missing?
Tks.
