So lets say I have a user named guy in account group_1. I want to move him to group_2 and remove him from group_1. If I do the following:

sacctmgr add user name=guy account=group_2
sacctmgr delete user name=guy account=group_1

It updates the association in the DB. However, when I then submit a job it complains saying that the user is not properly associated namely:

_job_create: invalid account or partition for user 56483, account 'group_1', and partition 'interact'

That uid would be the users id. It looks like the CTLD or something holds on to a cache that has not been updated. I did a scontrol reconfigure but that didn't help. Only a full slurm restart fixed it.

So is this a known feature? Is there a way to force it to update its cache with out a full restart? I would hate to have to restart after every time I did this.
