I can make sure the test job is running (of course in the default time window) when doing sacct query, and here is the new test record which describe it more clearly:

I suspect your job fell out of the default time window for sacct. Add a time window that you know includes when the job ran and you will likely see it.

Our original configuration is setting “PrivateData = accounts,jobs,usage,users,reservations” in slurm.conf and not setting “PrivateData” in slurmdbd.conf. At this point, common user can see all others job information with sacct. Now we add option “PrivateData =jobs” to slurmdbd.conf, then common users even can’t see their own jobs using sacct. According.to https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html , setting “jobs” in PrivateData should only prevent user from viewing others’ job. Why it also hide jobs submit by user itself from sacct query?
