Unless you enforce associations you do not need to create them
manually. You can use the database to only store jobs and steps.

Hi guys
I am trying to understand the database.
For SLURM to record user wise cpu utilization, is it MUST to have user-account
association to be defined in SLURM accouting?

As it says in the documentation (http://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html):
,---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Accounting records are maintained based upon what we refer to as an

`---------------------------------------------------------------------
So, yes, associations are must. The ideas is that a given user could
work in multiple groups or projects on a given cluster, so you need the
associations to keep track of how the CPU time was used.
