Is there a way to close user connections on the server?

I'll double check but I don't think so.

You could send a message to a particular user that you wish to disconnect and handle that clientside.

What is your use-case for this?

I want to use presence channels for games. When a game is finished, the users should be removed from the channel.

Ah yeah - just send a message that tells the clients to unsub from the channel, that should be the best way.

I've asked the team working on Channels and we don't support terminating connections from the server.

Well, guess for this contest it should be enough, thank you.
