Hi,
  SLURM newbie here. Anybody have suggestions on how to do the scheduling
for a SLURM cluster for web submissions? We take orders from a webpage and
submit them as a single account

By "account" do you mean Slurm "bank account" (and different user IDs)?

There are a bunch of limits that can be configured by user, account, QOS (quality of service). See:
http://slurm.schedmd.com/resource_limits.html

Job's can also be assigned a priority to that under-serviced users and accounts get higher job priorities (i.e. jobs may not prioritized by submit order). For more information about job priorities, see:
http://slurm.schedmd.com/priority_multifactor.html

to SLURM. We want to avoid having a
condition where web user2 single job has to wait behind web user1's
hundreds jobs. What kind of scheduling method and/or job submission method
would you guys recommend to use so that ideally a single web user can use
as many available nodes as possible when nobody else is using them but
can't (significantly) delay another web user's job.

Thank you,
Navid
