Hi, I am trying to understand how unix UIDs and GIDs relate to the various SLURM accounting concepts.
Our unix groups correspond to actual groups around principal investigators. My current understanding is that I would have to reproduce all the unix groups as SLURM accounts and then add all the individual users to SLURM with the appropriate account. I have the following questions: 1. Is it possible to map GIDs to SLURM accounts automatically? I.e. can I avoid having to add accounts manually for the PIs? 2. Do all users have to be made known to SLURM via sacctmgr add user? I.e. is it possible for SLURM to be aware of users purely via the GID/account? My way off looking at this is probably heavily influence by my background with IBM's LoadLeveler. With that, unix groups and users can be used directly for the accounting.
