Hi, We have several clusters on the same database. There are some entities which are per cluster and some which are per database. accounts - per cluster (you can have same account name with a different account hierarchy, and different limits per cluster) association - per cluster qos - per database (we prefix our qos name with the cluster name to distinguish). partitions/nodes - per cluster (not really in the database though) users - I'm not sure. On one hand an admin user is an admin for all clusters. On the other hand, a user can have a different default account per cluster.
