Hi Loris,
First you add the user to one or more other Slurm accounts, something like
this:
$ sacctmgr add user xxx account=yyy
Then you can redefine the user's default account:
$ sacctmgr modify user where name=xxx set defaultaccount=yyy
Here is an example from our cluster where the user is in two accounts:
$ sacctmgr -rp show user WithAssoc xxx
User|Def
Acct|Admin|Cluster|Account|Partition|Share|Priority|MaxJobs|MaxNodes|MaxCPUs|MaxSubmit|MaxWall|MaxCPUMins|QOS|Def
QOS|
xxx|camdvip|None|niflheim|camdcmr||5|||||1000|||high,normal|normal|
xxx|camdvip|None|niflheim|camdvip||5||500|||1000|||high,normal|normal|
I hope this helps.
/Ole

Hi,
Occasionally I need to change a default account and I struggle every
time, possibly because my expectations are incorrect.
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?
