You can dump the database, edit the dump, and then load the edited file. On loading, sacctmgr will then identify differences between the current database and the modified dump and ask you to confirm that you really want to make those changes. We use this to set up accounts, which for us correspond to individual research groups. We set up the actual associations via the job submit plugin.
