Description Robert Yelle 2018-09-21 12:33:02 MDT

Hello,

Is it possible to limit the roles of Slurm admin or operators to certain accounts, or accounts that they belong to?  We have a situation where it would be desirable for a PI to manage the jobs within their group but not jobs outside their group.  For example, the ability to hold/release/cancel jobs in their own group but not other groups.  Is this currently possible, and if so, how is this done?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

This is known as a coordinator.


Coordinator
A special privileged user, usually an account manager or such, that can add users or sub-accounts to the account they are coordinator over. This should be a trusted person since they can change limits on account and user associations inside their realm.

Set using a table in Slurm's database defining user's and accounts for which they can serve as coordinators. For configuration information, see the sacctmgr man page.

For example:

sacctmgr modify account set coordinator=jason where account=staff


sacctmgr list account staff withcoord
   Account                Descr                  Org       Coord Accounts 
---------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- 
     staff                staff                staff                jason

Hi Robert,

 I should have set this issue to 'info given' with my last response. I am doing so now. Please feel free to reopen if needed.

Thanks Jason!

I’ll give the coordinator role a try.

Comment 5 Robert Yelle 2018-10-31 11:51:39 MDT

Hello,

I need to reopen this ticket.  I am trying to add a coordinator for an account as follows:

sacctmgr modify account set coordinator=ryelle where account=hpcrcf

But I get the following output:

Unknown option: coordinator=ryelle
Use keyword ‘where’ to modify condition

It seems that the syntax is wrong and I have tried other combinations without success. What is the correct way for doing this?  I am using Slurm 17.11.10.

Thanks,

Rob
