Limit the active sessions for one spectator account
Why should organizer use it?
- To help avoiding multiple users logging into one account at the same time (from different devices)
- It provides an extra layer of security that can reduce the risk of fraudulent activity
How it works?
- Enable the max active devices feature at Enable max amount of active devices security under Application Settings
- Define the max active devices that you allow user to login at the same time per account
- If Enable online/offline check if device reached max active sessions below is false and account reaches max active number:
- User can't log in on other devices
- If Enable online/offline check if device reached max active sessions below is true and account reaches max active number:
- User can log in on other devices if previous devices are online or offline within 122 seconds
- Account will be logged out from previous device.

How it works?

- Define the number of max used devices that you allow user to use for one accountaccount
- After a successful login, spectator’s device counter is increased by 1. In case of logout from the device, the counter remains 1.

- For troubleshooting purpose, organizer can reset the number of used device on Spectator list page (per spectator)
