Dear Thekla, Disclaimer: Firstly, I find account management in Slurm confusing and the documentation strangely unenlightening. Secondly, I don't make many changes to things once users have been set up, so I have very little experience of actually tweaking the accounting.
Despite my understanding of the documentation that you *can* modify the partition of a user, I don't think this is actually the case. If I look at the database, the user table has no column 'partition' whereas the association table does. So you might be able to modify the association, but you might also just have to delete the association and recreate it with the desired partitions. Or you might have to do something entirely different ... Maybe people who do understand Slurm's account management can chip in.
