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

[Henkel, Andreas]

Hi Christoph,

I think the only way is to modify the database directly. I don’t know if Slurm likes it and personally would try it in a copy of the DB with a separate slurmdbd to see if the values reported are still correct. 

Best regards,

Andreas Henkel
