Only a single Admin user can log in at a time. #100

Closed jkubNTIA closed 9 years ago

jkubNTIA commented 9 years ago

Submitted by Ranga: It would simplify the system (avoid locking and such) if we have only one admin user able to log in at any given time. Is this OK?

I would prefer a design with only one admin account if login is not supported (If logins are supported, then multiple accounts with Admin privilege but only one may log in at a given time).

We need a user management admin page - I suggest Julie take this one on (is this OK with you Julie?).

Please share your thoughts on this.

I think that it would be ok to just have one admin user logged in at a time to the admin section of the web site, but it would be nice to have multiple admin users be able to log in the spectrum browser section of the web site at the same time.

Session timeout would need to be kept short so that if an admin starts to configure and forgets to log out, other admins will not be blocked.

Excellent point. What timeout period do you suggest?

ranganathanm commented 9 years ago

Not sure but 15 min. would be my guess. If the admin does nothing for 15 min, his session ID is automatically revoked.
