Hello, We're facing a really weird issue that unfortunately we are completely stuck on. It appears that when users are running a job through SLURM they don't have the systems local groups applied to their user. They DO have the local groups if I 'su' to the user on the compute node. They also DO have the local groups if I do `id user1` when logged in as that user - but as far as the system is concerned they don't have these groups for reading/writing files etc.
I have read through the thread here: https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/r4DyJqgduAc which is exactly the same issue as mine but I can't see that it was resolved unfortunately. If anyone has any ideas of what I could try (I've tried initgroups as shown here as well with no luck: https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/ZTyIO_lYxac/m/4PAd_ykTAgAJ) that would be very much appreciated please! The groups that _are_ shown are from Active Directory, through SSSD. Below I show some sample output that may assist with debugging and help explain my issue, [user1@ui-host~]$ salloc salloc: Granted job allocation 530 bash-4.2$ id uid=1003353(user1) gid=1003353 groups=1003353,1851018(SCARFFILEASR92),1851500(adhoc_storage),1851501(analysis_computers),1851502(fileserver),1851504(node_provisioning) bash-4.2$ hostname octocn01.nubes.stfc.ac.uk Interestingly, if I do `id user1` here then I DO get the output below. !?
