      <div dir="ltr">Dear all,
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Apologies for the basic question. I've looked around online
          for an answer to this, and I haven't found anything that has
          helped accomplish exactly what I want. That said, it is also
          probable that what I am asking isn't a best practice, or isn't
          actually necessary, etc. I'd welcome any advice.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>My question is, how can I reset a user's FairShare number?
          Specifically, I'm asking about the last column displayed by
          default when typing: sshare -a</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>If I want to reset a user's value for that to 1, so that
          they are back at "top priority," I'm unclear how to do that.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>When I type:</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>sacctmgr modify user <username> set FairShare=1</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>That seems actually to update the RawShares column! I guess
          this (kind of) makes sense, since apparently I can set
          FairShare=parent, so it's clear that command is not used to
          update the last column (the one titled FairShare); so
          confusing!</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Is the actual FairShare column a calculated value that is
          immutable? My understanding, however, is that it is that value
          that controls a user's job priority. We do have job priority
          scheduling configured and it *seems* to be working as
          intended, I'm just not sure how to "reset" a given user's
          priority weighting.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I do have PriorityDecayHalfLife=7 set in slurm.conf, and
          this does decrement the RawUsage column appropriately, but
          even when that reaches 0, the FairShare value doesn't change.</div>
