[slurm-users] Accounting: set default account with no access

[Renfro, Michael]

>From https://stackoverflow.com/a/46176694:

>> I had the same requirement to force users to specify accounts and, after finding several ways to fulfill it with slurm, I decided to revive this post with the shortest/easiest solution.
>> 
>> The slurm lua submit plugin sees the job description before the default account is applied. Hence, you can install the slurm-lua package, add "JobSubmitPlugins=lua" to the slurm.conf, restart the slurmctld, and directly test against whether the account was defined via the job_submit.lua script (create the script wherever you keep your slurm.conf; typically in /etc/slurm/):
>> 
>> -- /etc/slurm/job_submit.lua to reject jobs with no account specified
>> 
>> function slurm_job_submit(job_desc, part_list, submit_uid)
>>     if job_desc.account == nil then
>>             slurm.log_error("User %s did not specify an account.", job_desc.user_id)
>>             slurm.log_user("You must specify an account!")
>>             return slurm.ERROR
>>     end
>>     return slurm.SUCCESS
>> end
>> 
>> function slurm_job_modify(job_desc, job_rec, part_list, modify_uid)
>>     return slurm.SUCCESS
>> end
>> 
>> return slurm.SUCCESS
