They only way I found was to add the user to the new account and then modify their default account to the new account.
sacctmgr add user example account=groupb sacctmgr modify user where user=example set defaultaccount=groupb Then you can remove them from the original default account if you want.

However the messages and the manpage seem to me unhelpful: $ sacctmgr show user alice accounts User Def Acct Admin ---------- ---------- --------- alice boblab None $ sacctmgr add user user=alice defaultaccount=carollab cluster=bigiron Nothing new added. $ sacctmgr show user alice accounts User Def Acct Admin ---------- ---------- --------- alice boblab None What does "Nothing new added" mean? In the manpage for sacctmgr it says: DefaultAccount= System wide default account name Must be defined on the first occurrence of the user. I find the third line unclear, but I assume it means Must be specified when the user is created (and cannot be modified subsequently) Deleting the user and recreating with the desired defaultaccount is the only way I have managed change the default account. Is this really the only way to achieve this? Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Herr/Mr) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email loris.benn...@fu-berlin.de
