.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBscontrol\fR is used to view or modify Slurm configuration including: job,
job step, node, partition, reservation, and overall system configuration. Most
of the commands can only be executed by user root. If an attempt to view or modify

Note that update requests done by either root, SlurmUser or Administrators are
not subject to certain restrictions. For instance, if an Administrator changes
