Hello,

I’d like to ask if there is any safe method to rename an existing slurm user to new username with the same uid?

As for linux itself, it’s quite common to have 2 user share the same uid.

So if we already have 2 system users, for example Bob(uid=1500) and HPCBob(uid=1500), and the HPCBob is the existing slurm user, how can we rename it to Bob without lost of user’s history job records or associations? Do we have to manually edit the slurm database?
