Limiting Concurrent Logins for a User

CA ControlMinder can control the number of concurrent logins in two ways:

Administrator Level

Set a systemwide definition in the database of the number of concurrent sessions a user can have. You can set this value globally, for a profile group, or for individual users.

User Level

Users individually control the number of concurrent logins allowed for them. This way, when logging in, users can block the option of more login sessions with their names, thus protecting themselves.

Note: The number of concurrent logins is independent of the number of sessions the user is running on a particular terminal. Multiple sessions on one terminal are considered as a single login. The concurrent‑logins limit restricts the number of terminals a user can concurrently log in from, not the number of logins from each terminal.
