Hello,

What you want is possible.

First of all try to add all the users for login/multi_login_users parameter in instance profile on operating system level using a text editor and restart the system. Check if the user at the last place of the parameter can login multiple times. If yes, all other user will be do.

Alternatively (just to be able to administer the profile parameter from RZ10 as wll) you can define your own local replacement variables (like _USER1 for e.g. 5-10 user IDs, _USER2 for another 5-10 or less user IDs, ..., _USER<n> for the last 5-10 or less remaining users) and add

login/multi_login_users = _USER1,_USER2,...,_USER<N>

parameter in instance profile. For additional information refer to Variables in Profile Values.

Best regards,

Adam

What do you mean by "you can define your own local replacement variables (like _USER1 for e.g. 5-10 user IDs, _USER2 for another 5-10 or less user IDs, ..., _USER<n> for the last 5-10 or less remaining users) and add

login/multi_login_users = _USER1,_USER2,...,_USER<N>"

Where do you add this replacement variable?

Hi,

Please be aware that the profile parameter login/multi_login_users is
limited to 80 characters (in total); the rest will be truncated. Notice
that there is no maximum number of users, however they must all fit on
the 4 lines that are supplied in rz10.

Notice that allowing users to login more than once is not a general
feature, but should be seen as exception from the rule. The profile
parameter login/multi_login_users is designed only for a smaller group
of users who need to login multiple times even if the setting of
login/disable_multi_gui_login generally prohibits the multiple login.

It is not possible to remove this limitation or bypass it.

Regards,

Aidan
