# Finding Your Account and Partition

Before submitting jobs, you need to know which account and partition you have access to. These are required parameters for every job submission.

## Check Your Partitions

Run this command on the login node:

```bash
check_my_partitions
```

This lists all partitions and accounts you are authorized to use.

## Key Concepts

- **Account** — your billing/group account (e.g. `public-users_v2`). Required for all job submissions.
- **Partition** — the queue your job runs in (e.g. `power-general-shared-pool`). Determines which nodes are available and what resource limits apply.
- **QOS** — Quality of Service, controls priority and limits (e.g. `public`). Usually matches your partition.

## Useful Commands

```bash
# View all partitions and their status
sinfo

# View partition details including limits
scontrol show partition power-general-shared-pool

# View your running and pending jobs
squeue -u your_username
```
