====== How can I tell which account codes I can use and which partitions I can submit to? ======
The account codes you can use when submitting a job to Slurm are directly related to the HPC Projects you are a member of (see [[https://hpc.researchcomputing.ncl.ac.uk/projects/|My HPC Projects]]).
* All HPC Projects that are:
* **Active** and ...
* You are a **member** of...
* Grant you access to the ''_free'' partitions
* Any HPC Projects that are:
* **Active** and ...
* **Funded** and ...
* Have a **positive** balance and ...
* You are a **member** of...
* Grant you access to the ''_paid'' partitions
On Comet you can check which account codes you can use and which partitions they grant access to using the ``sacctmgr`` tool:
[n123@cometlogin01(comet) ~]$ sacctmgr list associations where user=n123
Cluster Account User Partition Share Priority GrpJobs GrpTRES GrpSubmit GrpWall GrpTRESMins MaxJobs MaxTRES MaxTRESPerNode MaxSubmit MaxWall MaxTRESMins QOS Def QOS GrpTRESRunMin
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ------- ------------- --------- ----------- ------------- ------- ------------- -------------- --------- ----------- ------------- -------------------- --------- -------------
comet allusers n123 1 0 0 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 default_f+ 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 default_p+ 1 512 256 normal

comet comet_proj1 n123 interacti+ 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 interacti+ 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 interacti+ 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 interacti+ 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 long_free 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 long_paid 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 low-laten+ 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 short_free 1 512 256 normal
comet comet_proj1 n123 short_paid 1 512 256 normal
The example above shows that the user ''n123'' is associated with the ''allusers'' account (but which has no partition permissions) and the ''comet_proj1'' account which has permissions on all ''_paid'' and ''_free'' partitions.
You can use the ''-p'' option to ''sacctmgr'' to get a more easily parseable output, including complete account and partition names to work around the column width cut-off issue in the default ''sacctmgr'' output as above.
If any column in your output of ''sacctmgr'' is suffixed with ''+'', then it means that field is longer than can be displayed. Re-run it again with the ''-p'' flag to see the full output.
==== Alternate Output Format ====
By using the ''format='' argument with ''sacctmgr'' you can control the output width of specific columns. This can produce a more readable output if you are prepared to list the individual fields you wish to see.
Example for the **comet_training** project:
$ sacctmgr list associations where account=comet_training format=Account%20,User%16,Partition%24,GrpTRES%30,MaxSubmitJobs,MaxJobs
Account User Partition GrpTRES MaxSubmit MaxJobs
