Hey chris, Problem is, even adding a user : sacctmgr create user domain_name\\user_name account=research restarting slurmctrld and trying to run a job with the above user : srun bash, resulting in: slurmctld: error: User 243309139 not found slurmctld: _job_create: invalid account or partition for user 243309139, account '(null)', and partition 'all' slurmctld: _slurm_rpc_allocate_resources: Invalid account or account/partition combination specified
so adding manually only works if I dont restart slurmctrld... Have i missed something?

I'm afraid you don't really have an option there, if you want to use the slurmdbd limits then you're going to need to add the users to the database. You could script the addition/removal to avoid having to do it all by hand. Regarding the idea of a web portal - I think what is being suggested is not using AD but instead have your own LDAP server for the cluster which is populated via a web portal. If you are tied into using AD (which it sounds like you are) then that's not really an option for you. All the best, Chris
