Semi-answering my own question. Found [Global email setting](https://discourse.openondemand.org/t/global-email-setting/123), though it’s 2.5 years old.

Eric is suggesting to look at the global entry in the cluster definition file but I am confirming his expectation that the $USER is not rendered by SLURM in the script. Has there been any progress with this since then? I.e. is it e.g. possible now to erb render the cluster definition files?
