One final question. I've configured a long queue, one job per user: max_user_run = 1
However, a user (mhoma) has asked for an exception. As far as I can tell, torque has no exception. The rule applies to everyone wanting to run something on that queue. If I remove that setting from torque, does Maui have something where say "let all users be restricted to one job except for mhoma who is allowed to run three.
