As it says in the documentation (http://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html):

,---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Accounting records are maintained based upon what we refer to as an 
| Association, which consists of four elements: cluster, account, user 
| names and an optional partition name
`---------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Cheers

Loris
