You can!    We do:

sacctmgr modify cluster ${CLUSTER} set maxjobs=192

We thought we had to use QoS for this as well, but it's a bad idea as that 
takes priority over so many other things.

The reason we'd missed it before is not realising the significance of:

# NOTE: You can also use the general specifications list above in the
# GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ASSOCIATION BASED ENTITIES section.

in the section on cluster specifications in the sacctmgr manual page.

Best of luck!
