To do it for all users it should just be a simple bash script to do that, I don't have one put together though. -Paul Edmon- On 09/13/2018 10:29 AM, Eric F.

Until now I had thought that the most elegant way of setting up Slurm users would be via a PAM module analogous to pam_mkhomedir, the simplest option being to use pam_script. However, given that we do have users who somehow never get round to submitting a job before their HPC access expires, setting up the Slurm account when the first job is submitted seems quite appealing.

What we do is that we run AD for our Linux user managment. We then in our job submit lua script look to see if the user has an account in slurm and if they don't we create it. Another way would be to make all your Linux users and then map that in to Slurm using sacctmgr. It really depends on if your Slurm users are a subset of your regular users or not. -Paul Edmon- On 9/12/2018 12:21 PM, Andre Torres wrote: Hi all, 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 ? Thanks in advance -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email loris.benn...@fu-berlin.de<mailto:loris.benn...@fu-berlin.de>
