[slurm-users] Rename account or move user from one account to another

[Sam Gallop (NBI)]

Hi Christoph,

I suspect that the answer to both of these is no. When I tried to modify an account I got ...

$ sudo sacctmgr modify account where name=user1 set account=newaccount1
 Can't modify the name of an account

Also, the sacctmgr can only reset a user's rawusage, as it only supports a value of 0.

While not exactly what you want you could add the user to the new account, change the defaultaccount and then remove the user from the old account. However it doesn't retain the user's historical usage which I guess is ultimately what you want.

Hi everyone,

is it somehow possible to move a user between accounts together with his/her usage? I.e. transfer the historical resource consumption from one association to another?

In a related question: is it possible to rename an account?

While I could, of course, tamper with the underlying MariaDB, it does not exactly appear to be a convenient or elegant solution...

Best,
Christoph
