Session Restrictions

This security feature controls the number of Texada SRM sessions an operator can open at any one time.
This helps to control licensing requirements when users move around opening multiple sessions at different workstations, without closing out earlier sessions.

A default number of sessions across all companies using the same server can be set per operator, along with a default multiple workstation flag.
If specific operators that should be exceptions are identified, they can be listed by User Name with the appropriate max sessions and multiple workstations flag. These exception settings over-ride the defaults.

When an operator attempts a login that would exceed his user maximum, the Session Restriction Exceeded warning explanation window appears at sign-in with the login count and provides him with the ability to clear the previous logins.
When a previous login is cleared, it always completes its task before exiting to the sign in screen.

The login restrictions can be maintained in the Session Restrictions window on the Security tab of the Configure System Settings.
An operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the Security - Session Restrictions in order to access this table.

The prompts are:

MAXIMUM SESSIONS PER USER NAME

Set a maximum number of sessions each operator is permitted at any one time.
This is a default that is applied to all operators accessing any company that uses the same program directory on the same server.

If this field is zero, there is no limit to the number of logins each operator is permitted simultaneously.

ALLOW MULTIPLE WORKSTATIONS PER USER NAME

Check this box to set the default to allow operators to sign into SRM on multiple workstations at the same time.

Uncheck this box to restrict operators to one workstation at a time.
Note: If your firm uses PowerTerm sessions, and does not use a multi-screen utility, then each login session is counted as coming from a different workstation. This is because the server identifies each session as a separate source.

SESSION RESTRICTION EXCEPTIONS

This window can be used to list any operators who require access controls other than the company defaults.
