Highly recommended using a SlurmDBD with mysql as the backend. The setup is fairly easy and will give you what you are looking for. filetxt is very simple and only does simple accounting for jobs/steps. It doesn't do any access control or such.

Hello, Since we only have a few users on our cluster, I’m only using accounting_storage/filetxt. When I submit jobs and look at sacct, the account says (null). If I provide an account using sbatch/srun. It will list this in sacct. Is there a way to default the linux username as the account in filetxt? Also, since this string is arbitrary and you can list anything you want, is there no notion of fair share using the filetxt format? It is highly recommended that we start using the mysql or slurmdb plugins? Jordan
