Managing compute

By default, only the resource owner has access to compute accounts.
However, additional users and coordinators can be added.

Adding users

Account coordinators can add and remove other users and coordinators.
The account owner is automatically a coordinator.

To add and remove users of 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 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 a coordinator does not automatically grant them permission to use the account.

Monitoring usage

get_balance displays current balances for credit accounts and allocations.
For help, use get_balance --help.

Request only the hardware you need.

Jobs paid by credit accounts are charged for requested hardware, whether or not it is used.
