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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>According.to <a href="https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html">https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html</a> , setting “jobs” in PrivateData should only prevent user from viewing others’ job.
