> We throw the following request to api (there is no PUT method available in
> slurmrestd, so we did POST request)

PUT vs POST is a little arbitrary here. POST was chosen since you're giving a new change request instead of modifying an existing object. slurmrestd is only a translator and is sending a new change request to slurmdbd in this case.

> How can we update fairshare value via rest API?

All of the entries in the slurmdb plugins are designed to be symmetric. The easiest way to figure out what to send is to query the current value:
> curl $AUTH_ARGS 'http://localhost/slurmdb/v0.0.36/associations'

Note that the fairshare tree values are held in the associations and not the accounts. sacctmgr joins them together to make it easier to handle via cli while slurmrestd does not.

Please take a look at the generated API reference when trying to find a field name:
> https://slurm.schedmd.com/archive/slurm-20.11.8/rest_api.html#dbv0.0.36_association

Changing the fairshare values is done via this field:
> shares_raw
>> Integer Raw fairshare shares

Please give it a try.

Thank you for looking into this issue!

Association api endpoint accept only GET and DELETE request. Therefore we tried with Account api endpoint which accept POST method.

As you suggested we tried shares_raw value as one of association attribute, but it did not update share value. Share value was set as 1, even though we specified 5.

The data we used:
data = {
        "accounts": [{
                "associations": [{
                        "account": "something",
                        "cluster": "general",
                        "partition": None,
                        "user": None,
                        "shares_raw": 5
                }],
                "description": "something",
                "name": "something",
                "organization": "something"
        }]


Thank you.

From swagger ui, we could not see POST method for /associations.
However, when we actually tried POST req to /association, it accepted.
Probably, openapi json needs to be updated.

This time, we also tried POST req to /associations to update shares_raw with the following data, but still it did not update share value.

data = {
        "associations": [{
                "account": "something",
                "cluster": "general",
                "partition": None,
                "user": None,
                "shares_raw": 5
        }],
}

This was corrected by bug#12538. Please upgrade to at least 21.08.3 for this fix.

Please attach your slurmdbd log and slurmrestd log from during this test.

My apologies. I tried POST request once again with the same data, and this time, it worked fine. It added account with specified share value. (Possibly i might used old jwt token last time.)
