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.

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?
