[slurm-users] Parent account in AllowAccounts

[Brian Andrus]

As I understand it, the parents are really meant for reporting, so you 
can run reports that aggregate the usage among children. Useful for a 
chargeback model.

As far as permissions, that is on a per account basis, regardless of 
hierarchy.

Just because a parent can go to the bar, doesn't mean their child can :)
