[slurm-users] Temporary Stop User Submission

[Markuske, William]

Sean,

I was just about to mention this wasn't working because I had thought of something similar. I tried 'sacctmgr modify user where name=<user> set maxjobs=0' but that was still allowing the user to 'srun --pty bash'. Apparently doing it through modifying the account as you stated does work though which is odd. Just have to modify each account the user has access too.

Thanks.

Regards,

Hello,

I have a badly behaving user that I need to speak with and want to temporarily disable their ability to submit jobs. I know I can change their account settings to stop them. Is there another way to set a block on a specific username that I can lift later without removing the user/account associations?

Regards,
