Manage active session quotas
Enabling session quotas allows you to control the maximum number of active sessions a user can have. The quota applies to all active sessions for the same user, and once a user reaches the session limit, the system removes the least recently used session for that user.
You enable session quotas by adding an ESV variable called esv-global-session-quotas-enable-constraints, set to ON. You must add this ESV to each environment (development, staging and production) where you want to enable session quotas.
The default active session limit is 5. This applies to alpha, bravo, and top-level realms, impacting both managed users and admins. If needed, you can adjust the allowed number of active sessions for alpha and/or bravo realms through the Access Management native console.
