<div dir="ltr">Yes, in a way. In thinking about this for Brown (we haven't implemented it, yet), we've the idea of having a Linux cron job periodically query the group membership of the AD group granted access to the HPC resource, and adding any new users to the SLURM accounting database.<div><br></div><div>We're at the point of using AD for ssh/login authentication via sssd, but still maintain an cluster/internal NIS database for pwent and cluster-specific group info (i.e., only the login gateways do AD authentication).

<div> </div>
<div>we think about switch to SLURM. Currently we grant access to the cluster using a active directory group, everyone in this group is allowed to run jobs.</div>
<div>So the users are not known to the SLURM accounting database.</div>
<div>Is it possible to automatically add every new user to an default account without manually adding the user with "sacctmgr add user user123 Account=test".</div>
