Multi-login user - A multi-login user can log in to multiple sessions of a Control Room at the same time.

A multi-login user can log in to multiple sessions of a Control Room at the same time.

A multi-login token is required to configure a user to run multiple sessions simultaneously. A Control Room user with permission to manage users can designate a user as a multi-login service user. Designating a multi-login user can be achieved through either the UI or API.

The following table provides details of using both the UI and API to designate a user with multi-login capabilities.


Authorize using UI	Authorize using API
In the Control Room, go to Administration > Users and select Allow under Allow multiple sessions to enable multi-login. For more information on multiple active UI sessions, see Multiple active user sessions. Note: If you use a machine without the Bot Agent installed, there might be a delay when opening a window to browse and select files from the desktop. We recommend that you use the machine with the bot agent installed for desktop operations.	Using the create user API Request `POST http://{{ControlRoomURL}}/v2/usermanagement/users` Request body to allow multiple login token `{ "roleIds":[ "185", "196" ], "email":"a@a.com", "enableAutoLogin":true, "username":"Sample-user", "description":"", "firstName":"Sample", "lastName":"User", "disabled":false, "password":"mypassword@123", "licenseFeatures":[ "DEVELOPMENT" ], "sysAssignedRoles":[ ], "deviceCredentialAttested":false, "multipleLoginAllowed":true }`

There are two ways to generate a multi-login token:

Using password/mutipleLogin parameters: During user authentication, setting the multipleLogin parameter to true will generate a multi-login token.
Request:
```
POST http://{{ControlRoomURL}}/v2/authentication
```
Request body to generate multi-login token using password and multipleLogin parameters:
```
{
   "username":"jdoe",
   "password":"mypassword@123",
   "multipleLogin":true
}
```
API Key: Users can use an API key instead of using password and the multipleLogin parameters to generate a multi-login token via the Authentication API.
Request:
```
POST http://{{ControlRoomURL}}/v2/authentication
```
Request body to generate multi-login token using API Key:
```
{
   "username":"jdoe",
   "apiKey": "IvttttAhY7777baeIYUJjSS"
}
```
Note: However, using an API key does not bypass the permission requirement. The user still needs the specific permission ("multipleLoginAllowed":true) granted.
