A value of 'nan' for 'FAIRSHARE' is not what you want.  I suspect you
haven't set up any shares.  What does the following produce?

  sacctmgr list assoc tree format=account,user,fairshare

For me this looks something like:

             Account       User     Share 
-------------------- ---------- --------- 
root                                    1 
 root                      root         1 
 bcp                                  169 
  biology                              15 
   group01                              3 
    group01               alice         1 
    group01                 bob         1 
    group01               carol         1 
   group02                              1 
    group02                dave         1 
   ...

For each user and account you need to set up the shares.  Check the
official 'sacctmgr' page:

  https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacctmgr.html

Ole Holm Nielsen also has some helpful information on the following
page:

  https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_accounting

In general it can be a bit of a faff setting up and maintaining shares.
All our users have equal shares and only belong to one account, so when
we add a users, we just automatically increment all the shares up to the
top of the hierarchy and decrement correspondingly when the user is
deleted.
