The way we did that was to put the nodes in their own partition which is only accessible by that group.
PartitionName=beardq Nodes=compute-8-[1,5,9,13,17] AllowGroups=beards DefaultTime=01:00:00 MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP So here is a partition "beardq" which is only available to folks in the group "beards" (yah, all they guys in that group have beards....)

Does Slurm offer groups which can handle such an occassion? It'd be prefered if there is a linux user group support, because this would save time setting up a new user group environment. The intention is that only administrators can submit jobs to those certain nodes to perform some tests, which might be disturbed by users submitting their jobs to those nodes. Various Search Engines didn't offer answers to my question, which is why I'm writing you here. Looking forward to some answers! Best, Felix Willenborg
