title: 'Quick Task: Restrict Number of Concurrent Sessions Per User' author: admin type: post date: 2019-03-26T18:30:27+00:00 url: /restrict-number-of-concurrent-sessions-per-user/ sf_thumbnail_type:
Hue administrators can restrict the number of concurrent sessions per user. The default value is 0 to represent no restrictions. In that case, a user can have as many simultaneous Hue sessions, i.e. logins, as he wishes. For security purposes, this can be restricted. When it is, normally the concurrent_user_session_limit is set to 1.
{{< highlight bash >}}[desktop]
[[session]]
concurrent_user_session_limit=1
{{< /highlight >}}
When concurrent_user_session_limit is set to 1 any session, i.e. on a different machine or browser, in excess of 1 is removed by eldest. If a user gets logged out automatically, then he or she can assume somebody else is logging in as his/her credential on a different machine.
