You can use local systemd overrides for things like this. In this case I 
suspect you can create this directory:

/etc/systemd/system/slurmrestd.service.d/

and drop files into it via the Configuration Management System Of Your 
Choice to override/augment the vendor supplied configuration.

Caveat: written whilst travelling and without testing or even having 
access to a system where I can test, but we do use this method for other 
services already.

All the best,
