With this command can I add a "normal" user to SLURM with "scancel" privileges 
over jobs in the same group?

     sacctmgr add coordinator account=<accountname> names=<username>

At official SLURM documentation (https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacctmgr.html), I 
have read this:

     ENTITIES

     account
         A bank account, typically specified at job submit time using the 
--account= option. These may be arranged in a hierarchical fashion, for example 
accounts chemistry and physics may be children of the account science. The 
hierarchy may have an arbitrary depth.

     [...]

     coordinator
         A special privileged user usually an account manager or such that can 
add users or sub accounts to the account they are coordinator over. This should 
be a trusted person since they can change limits on account and user 
associations inside their realm.

     [...]

So I understand a "coordinator" role assigned to a user allows that user to do 
some other tasks... but not to cancel jobs with "scancel" (jobs, of course, of 
others users in the same group)

Thanks.
