We had a user report that they see the wrong userid listed in the user column of the activejobs app. I’ve confirmed that I also see the mismatch when I select All Jobs. The information in the dropdown is correct but the row shows the wrong user id. There’s no association between these two users and their uids and other account attributes look okay. The ‘spgxxxx’ user shown in the row doesn’t even have access to the account listed.
I believe this is the command that loads the “Your Jobs” list and it does return the correct jobs for both of the users, so the issue seems to be in parsing or loading something in the dashboard app itself.
Sorry for the issue. To be clear, it is only these 2 users you see this with? Or is this a wider issue?
I was trying to track this down but the active jobs makes a call to OodCore for the job info, but I don’t quite see how that then gets the data from the scheduler. I’ll have to look at this some more and report back, sorry I don’t have a quick fix.
Yes, as far as we know these are the only two users. We haven’t gotten any other reports of it but also haven’t look more widely and users may not notice if it doesn’t impact their interactive sessions.
Appreciate the help. It’s odd but it doesn’t appear to be a security issue, just how it displays the jobs table.
Strange twist here but we had a maintenance outage over the past couple days. The maintenance included a Slurm update and upgrade from OOD v3 to v4. Yesterday, after the outage was complete I noticed that the jobs for the user who reported this issue were now appearing correctly with their user id in the Active Jobs “User” column. I assumed this issue might have been fixed but checking this again today to verify it looks like newly submitted jobs are once again appearing with the same incorrect user id.
So maybe just a fluke with those queued jobs but something seemed to temporarily resolve the issue but then it returned. I previously replicated the issue on our production OOD v3 instance and a test v4 instance.
