[slurm-users] Is there bug in PrivateData=jobs option of slurmdbd?

[taleintervenor at sjtu.edu.cn]

Hello,

 

We find a strange behavior about sacct and PrivateData option of slurmdbd.
Our original configuration is setting "PrivateData =
accounts,jobs,usage,users,reservations" in slurm.conf and not setting
"PrivateData" in slurmdbd.conf. At this point, common user can see all
others job information with sacct. Now we add option "PrivateData =jobs" to
slurmdbd.conf, then common users even can't see their own jobs using sacct.

 

According.to https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html , setting "jobs"
in PrivateData should only prevent user from viewing others' job. Why it
also hide jobs submit by user itself from sacct query?

 

The test records as below:
