Have a look at the "Database configuration" part of the accounting docs:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html

That describes adding clusters, adding the accounts (projects/groups) to which 
the users will belong, and then adding users to that they belong to the 
projects.

You'll also (as that page says) need to look at the resource limits page:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/resource_limits.html

Especially the part about the AccountingStorageEnforce options, you may want 
to start off with:

AccountingStorageEnforce=safe,qos

My guess is that you don't have that set at the moment, which means anyone can 
run jobs without existing in the database.  The "safe" option also enables the 
"association" option which won't let people who don't exist there run jobs.

Hope that helps!
Chris
