I’m new to slurm and I’m confused regarding user creation. I have an
installation with 1 login node and 5 compute nodes. If I create a user
across all the nodes with the same uid and gid I can execute jobs but I
can’t understand the difference between user creation with “/useradd”/
command and the “/sacctmgr”/ command
sacctmgr create account name=test
sacctmgr create user jdoe account=test
Also, is there anyway of creating a user at login node and replicate to
the compute nodes ? What is the best practice for user creation ?
Perhaps you may find some useful hints about accounts in my Wiki page
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_accounting
We use some account management scripts which you can find here:
