currently connected users in BO

general discussion
1

Hello,

I am new user of this forum.
I feel it is a very good and sympathetic forum.

I am looking to find out how I can see (in a enterprise document for instance) who are the current users of our BO instance.

Could anyone help ?

Thanks,

F.

Hi,

it depends on your defenition of ‘current users’

  1. users who are currently logged in ? (in wiadmin)
  2. users who currently have the possibility to log in ? (in supervisor)
  3. users who have used any report in the last days ? (via auditing tables)

Regards,

Gerard

Thanks for your answer Gerard.
That is very nice from you to answer so quickely.

I have an other question about the point 1 (users currently logged in).
I tried to lauch wiadmin : it works and I can log me, but I don’t see where to find the current logged users.
Could you explain me what to do in wiadmin ?

Thanks a lot

Franck

I don’t think there is a way to find this for full client users but you can get this information on webi/ZABO users by launching the Administration console on the server. It has a button for ‘list of logged in users’.

You have to have general supervisor rights to be able to view this information.

The admin panel may look different in different versions, but in 5.1.x, there is a button near the lower right corner that says something like “List of logged in users”.

Hi Anita

Any way to show “List of logged in users” in BOXI Release 2 ? We do not have auditor and the data shown through CMC–> Server is not right . Also it does not coroborate with Settings --> Metrices .

Cheers

CMC - Servers - Select CMS and it will pop up a list.

I hope MAKM’s answer is right. I don’t know XI since we’re still on the legacy version.

I am a bit confused to be honest. When i go to CMC - Servers - Select CMS it shows me 6 users (each has two sessions).

When i go to "Home–> Settings – Metrices → it shows me 12 logged in users. (actually there are 12 logged in sessions not users another BO “feature” it seems). Thanks for answering my question MAKM.

But interestingly i found some of the user sessions in Servers → CMS are logged in for 36 hrs (like my userid , whereas i have no sessions open on any machine) . Do we have any option in XI Rel 2 (like WISessions Manager in Administion Console in BO 6.5) which limits the “Sessions Timeout” for users.

Cheers

Sanjit -

If you’re using Performance Management, sessions are not always logged off correctly.

There’s some more info in this thread:
