By default, all users when they first use slurm will have access to the shared Account on the shared Partition with scavenger QoS. If you belong to a group that has contributed hardware into the SDF, you will be eligible to use different Accounts and Partitions: You will need to request access to slurm whilst we work out more automated ways of adding users to the system.
