Owned by Former user (Deleted)
Feb 24, 2020

Concurrent users are Live Forms users that are logged in simultaneously. displays a max user limit has been reached message for tenants with limited concurrent users licenses when more than the allowed number of users attempt to log into .

What does the Superuser/tenant admin(s) do if users are reporting this error?

The Manage Sessions link on the Manage Tenant page opens the User Interface to view/manage the number of active users. The UI is available to:

  • The initial Tenant Admin user (set up when the tenant was created). The tenant admin login is the only user allowed to login when the maximum number of concurrent sessions has been reached. This login is not counted against the license. The tenant admin can view/manage active users only for their tenant.
  • Superuser admin - view/manage active users for all tenants by navigating to each tenant and clicking on the Manage Sessions link
  • Additional admin users - view/manage active users but this login will be counted against the license and listed in the Sessions Table. Additional admins will not be allowed to login once the max user count is reached.


On This Page:

View Active Users

The Manage Sessions Page displays the current number of sessions and the max session count based on your license.  A table displaying the current active user sessions provides the following information:

  • User Id
  • Last Access Time
  • Login Time
  • Does the user have the frevvo.Designer role? (Yes/No)
  • User's device - (Desktop/Tablet/Phone).

  • Session Timeout (min) - the session timeout in minutes set up for the tenant. 

The 30 minute Session Timeout setting shown in the images is the default value for running in an on-premise environment. The value for tenants in the frevvo Cloud will change based on operational needs.

The entries in the table are sorted by last access time in descending order. Columns in the Sessions Table that are sortable display the up and down arrow icon in the column header.  Clicking on the up section of the arrow icon in one column sorts all the columns in the table in the ascending direction. Clicking on the down section of the arrow icon in the column header in one column sorts all the columns in the table in the descending direction.

The table shows a maximum of 200 entries. Twenty-five sessions per page display but you can change that to 10, 50 or 100 by clicking the preferred option in the Show Entries dropdown.

Manage Active User Sessions

The tenant admin can take one of two actions to reduce the number of active users:

  • Send an email to a selected user requesting they log out
  • Kill a selected user session.

You can only select one user at a time.

When a session in the table is selected, the Kill Session and Request Log Out buttons are enabled.

Additional Admin Users

Users added to the tenant as additional administrators will be able to - view/manage active users but their login will be counted against the license and listed in the Sessions Table. Additional admins are not allowed to login once the max user count is reached. Admin users managing user sessions will be prevented from killing their own session if they attempt to do so. The message displayed is shown in the image:

 

 The Superuser/Tenant Admin can kill sessions for additional admin users.

LDAP, SAML or Azure Security Managers

You may notice a slightly different behavior if your tenant is configured for the LDAP, SAML or Azure Security Manager. The tenant admin user setup when your tenant was created or a tenant admin user set up in your IDP will be able to login once the max user count is reached.

For example, a tenant configured for the SAML Security Manager has an initial tenant admin user set up when the tenant was created (built-in) and has a tenant admin user in the Active Directory that SAML is using.

You can log into the tenant after the max user count is exceeded by:

  • Browsing this URL - http(s)://<server:port>/frevvo/web/login and logging into the tenant as the built-in admin OR
  • Browsing this URL - http(s)://<server:port>/frevvo/web/tn/<SAML tenant name>/login and logging in as the SAML user tenant admin  .

The tenant admin user will not appear in the Manage User session list or be counted against the license.

Logging in as a user from the Manage User screen

Once the max user limit has been reached message displays, the superuser/tenant admin cannot login as a user from the Manage Users page.

The tenant admin will see this message:

Changes to the Server Configuration screens

The Server Configuration screen, accessible to the superuser admin, shows the following changes:

  • Max Concurrent Users has been renamed to Max Concurrent Sessions.
  • The Current Session Count across all tenants has been added to the table.

The Tenant Admin will still see Max Concurrent Users on the View Configuration screen.
