Setting maximum connections per User

You can set the maximum number of simultaneous connections for a User at three levels;   

Note

The Site level provides a limit over all other levels (see Overview). For example, if the Site level Max connections per user is 5, and a user's User level Max connections per user is set to 10, the user can still only connect to the server 5 times simultaneously.

To set maximum connections per user at the Site level

  1. Start the Administrator Interface and connect to the Server.

  2. At the bottom of the left pane, click the Server tab.

  3. In the left pane, select the Site you want to modify.

  4. In the right pane, click the Advanced tab.

  5. Select the Max connections per user check box and enter a number. If the box is clear a user can create an unlimited number of concurrent connections to the site (or according to the limits defined at the User or User Settings level).

  6. Click Apply.

 

To set maximum connections per user account at the User and User Setting Level

  1. Start the Administrator Interface and connect to the Server.

  2. At the bottom of the left pane, click the Server tab.

  3. Select the User or User Setting Level you want to configure. You may have to expand a User Setting Level to see the user you want.

  4. In the right pane, click the Quota tab.

  5. Select the Max connections per user check box and enter the maximum times you wish that User account or users in that User Setting Level to be able to simultaneously connect to the site. Keep in mind that a gray check on a User account indicates the account is inheriting parameters from the User Setting or Site level.

  6. Click Apply.
