[slurm-users] Removing user from slurm configuration

[Marcus Wagner]

Hi Ole,

in fact, the user does not become deleted but gets a "deleted" flag in 
the database.
The advantage is, if you recreate the user, he gets the same internal id.

@Mahmood
if you REALLY want to get rid of that user, you might need to manipulate 
the SQL Database. I emphasize though, not to do that, as I don't know, 
if there are some hooks I cannot see now.
What happens e.g., if you update the database (upgrade slurm from 17.11 
to 19.05 e.g.) and you have jobs or associations connected with users, 
that don't exist anymore.
I think, that is one of the reasons, why schedmd just flags the user as 
deleted in the SQL database.


Best
Marcus
