Is there any limitation in Tridion that would stop more than one physical user sharing a single Tridion account for logging in?
Tridion as far as I know wouldn’t end the other session or log a user out if both logged on at the same time, for instance.
Our client is getting close to their licence limit and is looking several users sharing a single account. From a business perspective they’ll lose the ability to really know who changed what – but there’s no workflow in place.
Is this in breach of the Tridion licence to do this?
Cheers
Tridion is a stateless application, so although there is authentication there is no concept of log-in or log-out. You could have problems if different users of the account tried to change the same item at the same time (have seen this in training session where a single account was used).
Yes, it would be a breach of the license conditions – typically this is done on a named-user basis, unless unlimited users were allowed (which would probably mean you wouldn’t need to do this anyway).
