[slurm-users] Is QOS always inherited explicitly?

Hi,

QOS of the account.

I believe it doesn't explicitly modifies all the associations, just
notifies you which associations will be affected. Looking at my database
suggests that indeed most associations don't have explicit QOS (but I'm
not very proficient with slurm's database, so I might be wrong).

HTH,
