That's the point: It depends on user Y, how they log in, how the process is run. There is no "Force user Y to abide by some ulimit setting", setting. It is not, and never will be, something handled externally. If User Y doesn't use the normal login process, and isn't forced to run ulimit by any sort of script on login, its ulimit settings won't be changed.
At the very least you might need to restart whatever daemon is launching the process, for ulimit.conf settings to take effect, as this file is read on login, never "forced" onto things just because a file changed. It takes effect when its read -- either login or startup.

ulimit
ULIMIT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ULIMIT(3)
NAME
ulimit -- get and set process limits
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ulimit.h>
long
ulimit(int cmd, ...);
DESCRIPTION
The ulimit() function will get and set process limits. Currently, this is limited to the maximum file size. The cmd argument is one of the
following:
UL_GETFSIZE will return the maximum file size of the current process, in units of 512-byte blocks.
UL_SETFSIZE will attempt to set the maximum file size of the current process and its children, using the second argument (expressed as a
long).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, ulimit() returns the value requested; otherwise, the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
The ulimit() function will fail if:
[EINVAL] The command specified was invalid.
[EPERM] The limit specified to ulimit() would have raised the maximum limit value, and the caller is not the super-user.
SEE ALSO
getrlimit(2)
STANDARDS
The ulimit() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
The ulimit() function first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
BUGS
The ulimit() function provides limited precision for setting and retrieving process limits. If there is a need for greater precision than
the type long provides, the getrlimit(2) and setrlimit(2) functions should be considered.
