The obvious answer is to use another user name. Why are you using one name for several users?

When the users are distributed over all the country, it’s normal that users living in a group of south regions use the same login.

In Italy we have, for example, 16 users: 7 Ericsson users, and 9 Siemens users.

Every Siemens user (and of course Every Ericsson user) represents in fact a workgroup composed by approximately 30-40 real persons.

They have the same couple login/password and the Option button is for them disabled, so they cannot change the options 24 times a day! They are obliged to use a particular configuration of the options! :wink:

Why not setup the security groups IE: Ericsson and Siemens within Supervisor and allow individual logins?

I am not using one user name for many users , but they are sharing beween themselves and giving to those which are not allowed to use WI temporarly or permenatly… And I have no idea who is logged and what are they doing there…

I have to put an end to this practice…

I have to 100% sure that in one praticular moment only one user with its induvidual log is accessing WI.

Emile,
I suggest starting with “Let Me Speak to Your Supervisor” and then refer to the Supervisor manual.

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is “You can’t”.

I don’t believe that there is any way to prevent a single account from logging in more than once. BusinessObjects (and Webi) don’t track how many concurrent logins there are for a single account.
