I don't believe sbatch does that, it just fills in the derived numeric UID from the command line into the job description (as long as you're submitting as root) and then fires the job off to slurmctld. Then when slurmd runs the job it'll use the UID in the job description (which of course defaults to the user submitting it if you're not root).
