At one point in time we would also use the job_submit.lua to add users, however, I cannot recommend it in general since job_submit runs while locks are held within slurmcltd, which could have dramatic performance or even functionality impacts if there are delays in adding the user. ---- Doug Jacobsen, Ph.D. NERSC Computer Systems Engineer Acting Group Lead, Computational Systems Group National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center <http://www.nersc.gov> dmjacob...@lbl.gov
