Hi @Hannan

Would you please create a feature request for this on jira.dhis2.org?

Then @kazem_zendehdel and other community members can add their votes / watch to receive updates on this feature.

update: @Hannan & @kazem_zendehdel,

Following up with the developers, you are right, this feature already exists. It wasn’t in the documentation but @netroms has added it:

Number of possible concurrent sessions on different computers or browsers for each user. If configured to 1, the user will be logged out from any other session when a new session is started.

max.sessions.per_user = 10

https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-docs/blob/master/src/sysadmin/installation.md#:~:text=dhis2.org/api-,%23,-Number%20of%20possible

Thank you!

Dear Gassim @Gassim
We tested this on different versions, even 2.38,
But we can still do multiple logins at the same time with one username.
This means that we can still create multiple sessions with one username at a time.
Please explain how to use,
Thank you
