Hi,

I am struggling to understand how sacctmrg works with regard to changing
the account / default account of a user.

I have:

[root ~]# sacctmgr list user where user=test                  
      User   Def Acct     Admin 
---------- ---------- --------- 
      test      dept1      None 

and want to change the account / default account to 'staff'.  

Trying to change the account gives me:

[root]# sacctmgr modify user where user=test set account=staff
 Unknown option: account=staff
 Use keyword 'where' to modify condition

which implies that 'account=staff' is not a valid specification.  Why is
it not?

Trying to change the default account gives me:

[root]# sacctmgr modify user where user=test set defaultaccount=staff
 Can't modify because these users aren't associated with new default account 
'staff'...
  U = test C = slurm_cluster

but I don't understand the error message, because associating 'test'
with 'staff' is exactly what I am trying to do.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Loris
