Limit device sessions
The Limit device sessions field controls whether the number of device sessions allowed for a user is limited. The value does not restrict the use of the System Request menu or a second sign-on from the same device.

| *SYSVAL | The QLMTDEVSSN system value is used. |
| *NO | The user may be signed on to more than one device at the same time. |
| *YES | The user may not be signed on to more than one device at the same time. |
| 0 | The user is not limited to a specific number of device sessions. This value has the same meaning as *NO. |
| 1 | The user is limited to a single device session. This value has the same meaning as *YES. |
| 2 - 9 | The user is limited to the specified number of device sessions. |
Recommendations: Limiting users to one workstation at a time is one way to discourage sharing user profiles. Set the QLMTDEVSSN system value to 1 (YES). If some users have a requirement to sign on at multiple workstations, use the Limit device sessions field in the user profile for those users.
