Hi Chip Pyslurm <https://pyslurm.github.io/23.2/> is a python library that enables interfacing with slurm from within a python script. I played around with and older version that implemened only srun/sbatch but it looks like the new version also covers the other s* commands take a look at the API here <https://pyslurm.github.io/23.2/reference/>).
So I guess you can use Pyslurm as a basis for a web service and in this way achieve what you want. I wonder how you plan to do the users' authentication part, though... Would appreciate it if you can share some ideas on that.
