Actually, I've cleared this up (in my own head), via a number of different
sources.

I thought of the Partition as an attribute of User (within the
Accounting/sacctmgr paradigm).

But it's not.

Any relationship between a Partition and a User must also have an Account
and a Cluster and be an Association tuple. Sufficiently confusing for my
slow brain.

Hence, you don't use sacctmgr modify to add a new partition to a user, you
use sacctmgr add to create an Association. It's confusing because the
syntax is "sacctmgr add user person Account=myaccount
Partition=mypartition". Looks like you are adding a user.

gah.
