As I understand it, the parents are really meant for reporting, so you
can run reports that aggregate the usage among children. Useful for a
chargeback model.
As far as permissions, that is on a per account basis, regardless of
hierarchy.
Just because a parent can go to the bar, doesn't mean their child can :)

Hi,
As you know for each partition you can specify
AllowAccounts=account1,account2...
I have a parent account say "parent1" with two child accounts "child1"
and "child2"
I expected that setting AllowAccounts=parent1 will allow
parent1,child1, and child2 to submit jobs to that partition. But
unfortunately only parent1 is able to submit jobs.
For parent1,child1 and child2 to submit jobs I have to specify all
accounts individually:
AllowAccounts=parent1,child1,child2
Am I doing something wrong or is this the way slurm is set up? Does it
not make sense that when a parent account is added then the child
accounts should automatically also be able to submit jobs to that
partition?
Thanks,
Durai
