Managing compute
By default, only the resource owner has access to compute accounts. However, additional users and coordinators can be added.
Adding and removing users
Account coordinators can add and remove other users and coordinators. The account owner is automatically designated as an account coordinator, but they can appoint other users to serve as coordinators.
To add and remove users from a compute account, use sacctmgr:
$ sacctmgr add user account=<compute-account> name=<userid>
$ sacctmgr remove user account=<compute-account> name=<userid>
Adding coordinators
Account coordinators are users that have the ability to add and remove other users from a compute account.
Account coordinators control ALL access to the account
Coordinators can add and remove other coordinators, including the account owner.
To add or remove coordinators:
$ sacctmgr add coordinator account=<compute-account> name=<userid>
$ sacctmgr remove coordinator account=<compute-account> name=<userid>
Coordinators are not automatically users
Adding someone as a coordinator does not automatically grant them user level permission to the account. They will also need to be added as a user to be able to use the account for jobs.
Monitoring usage
The get_balance command displays current balances for both credit accounts and allocations.
To learn how to view details for specific accounts and people, use get_balance --help.
Request only the hardware you actually need.
Jobs paid for by credit accounts will be charged for the requested hardware, for the actual runtime of the job, whether or not it is actually used.
