The problem will be solved by using per-partition QOS and setting
MaxJobPer[User|Account] on that QOS.
bug 3668

Add SchedulerParameters option of bf_max_job_user_part to specifiy the
    maximum number of jobs per user for any single partition. This differs from
    bf_max_job_user in that a separate counter is applied to each partition
    rather than having a single counter per user applied to all partitions.

specify --with-pmix.

Bug 3597

This makes it so you can also specify %slurm_with_pmix in .rpmmacros to specify
a non-standard pmix installation.

About "MCSParameters=ondemand,noselect:groupA|groupB|groupC",
you can separate ondemand,noselect and groupA|groupB|groupC into 2
parameters like you want. The first part is common for mcs plugin and
the second part is only for mcs/group, so it could be logical to put them
into 2 different parameters.

Association.

This reverts commits 92d2c645 and 37be42ec.  This caused incorrect
behavior, original code was correct.  This also corrects documentation additions
in commit 4cfe6bde.

This code caused the first clause never to be correct and if you were

where it should be a negative number.  The reality is the first clause should
had been triggered and handled correctly.
