[slurm-users] Create users

[Paul Edmon]

So useradd is adding a Linux user, which sacctmgr creates a Slurm user.

What we do is that we run AD for our Linux user managment.  We then in 
our job submit lua script look to see if the user has an account in 
slurm and if they don't we create it.

Another way would be to make all your Linux users and then map that in 
to Slurm using sacctmgr.

It really depends on if your Slurm users are a subset of your regular 
users or not.
