Hi all, an association is a triple (quadruple if you have several clusters) consisting of "user", "account" and "partition". So, you need to add a association.
I'm not sure, how the accounting works, if no partition is set. We are always setting that triple, automatically during first submission to this triple. Not all users / account are allowed to use all partitions. This is checked externally, and if the user is allowed to submit to a partition with a specific account, we add that triple with sacctmgr.

Dear Thekla, Disclaimer: Firstly, I find account management in Slurm confusing and the documentation strangely unenlightening. Secondly, I don't make many changes to things once users have been set up, so I have very little experience of actually tweaking the accounting. Despite my understanding of the documentation that you *can* modify the partition of a user, I don't think this is actually the case. If I look at the database, the user table has no column 'partition' whereas the association table does. So you might be able to modify the association, but you might also just have to delete the association and recreate it with the desired partitions. Or you might have to do something entirely different ... Maybe people who do understand Slurm's account management can chip in.

That should work for you.

For example if I have an association of user thekla to an account ops I can set a qos for the existing association: sacctmgr modify user thekla account=ops set qos=nosubmit Modified user associations... C = cyclamen A = ops U = thekla However, I cannot set a partition: sacctmgr modify user thekla account=ops set partition=gpu Unknown option: partition=gpu Use keyword 'where' to modify condition This is not possible? The only solution I found to that is to delete the association and create it again with the partition: sacctmgr del user thekla account=ops sacctmgr add user thekla account=ops partition=gpu Thank you, Thekla
