Hi,

I am developing a site using DNN, and surprisingly I saw saw that more that one person can login as admin at the same time. I dont want this to happen in my site.

How can i resolve it ?

I'm not totally sure why you would want to limit bandwidth on developing a new site, unless you don't have clearly defined roles? Regardless, the easiest way would be to have a gentlemen's agreement that if an Admin is logged in, the others won't do anything. Load up the 'Users on-line' so you can see what's going on, or take away everyone's admin rights!!!

best of luck.

I don't know of a solution to prevent multiple login's using the same account; But you could create an account for each person who will have admin rights, then give them the administrator role. This will possibly allow some tracking, as well as being able to see which other admins are online (using the users online module).

Once DNN 5 comes out (me wante) it will be much easier as the Admin/Host menu's will be 'normal' pages and other users/roles could be assigned to them, ect.

A solution to the multiple login's on a single account you are having will depend on why that is a problem - If it's to limit each admin level account to 1 person, my first suggestion should cover it. If it's to stop people from editing the same content at the same time, I'd use my first suggestion and have everyone use an IM, at the very least when they are going to edit content, so they can check who else is online and make sure no one else is trying to edit it.

If there is another reason for you wanting to block multiple login's, let us know what it is, and we might be able to find a sufficent solution for it for you. :)

Oh...I didn't even think about multiple people logging in to one account. To me, that's just not cool. All of my admin/host users have their own admin/host account. I actually lock down the original host/admin account and NOBODY uses it. I like to know the name associated with an action being taken. If they choose to share their login information, that's fine, but if something gets messed up with their login, then they are the ones responsible.

Personally, I'd say never have more than one person with access to an account. It's far to easy in DNN to create host/admin accounts to justify sharing one set of user credentials.
