I don't think you can achieve what you want with Fairshare and

Loris is quite right about this, but it is possible to impose limits on
a project if you chose to use slurmdbd.
First you need to set up accounting:

then you can set limits:

A more detailed recipe for fairshare and limits setup is in my Wiki
page: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_scheduler
My general Slurm page guiding the deployment is

I fully agree with Loris and Chris. Such challenges are universal for
all clusters and queueing systems.
