I think the problem is that the system user name is not bound to the sacctmgr
[root@rocks7 ~]# sacctmgr list association format=account,user,partition Account User Partition ---------- ---------- ---------- root root root local local mahmood [root@rocks7 ~]# scontrol show partition MONTHLY1 PartitionName=MONTHLY1 AllowGroups=mahmood AllowAccounts=mahmood AllowQos=ALL AllocNodes=rocks7 Default=NO QoS=N/A DefaultTime=NONE DisableRootJobs=NO ExclusiveUser=NO GraceTime=0 Hidden=NO MaxNodes=UNLIMITED MaxTime=UNLIMITED MinNodes=1 LLN=NO MaxCPUsPerNode=UNLIMITED Nodes=compute-0-0 PriorityJobFactor=1 PriorityTier=1 RootOnly=NO ReqResv=NO OverSubscribe=NO OverTimeLimit=NONE PreemptMode=OFF State=UP TotalCPUs=32 TotalNodes=1 SelectTypeParameters=NONE DefMemPerNode=UNLIMITED MaxMemPerNode=UNLIMITED Is the the root of the problem?
