These settings let you specify how many times users can log in before they are locked out and for how long the users will stay locked out. You can also specify whether to allow multiple user or single machine sessions.
To set your database instance settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Database.
- Select your Instance from the drop-down list.
- Expand User Security.
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
- In the Log Login Attempts field, select whether login attempts to P6 are tracked in the logs. You can choose to log the following:
- None
- Failed Attempts
- Successful Attempts
- All
- In the Login Lockout Count field, enter the number of times a user can attempt to log in before the account locks.
The default value is 5.
Enter a value between 0 and 100000.
Notes:
- A setting of "0" allows an unlimited number of attempts.
- The count resets after each successful login.
- In the Login Lockout Duration field, enter the length of time that a user is blocked from logging in to P6; starts when the user exceeds the Login Lockout Count.
The default value is 1h.
Enter a value between 0 and 24d.
Notes:
- The Admin Superuser can override this setting if they manually reset a user's session. See the Resetting User Sessions section of the P6 EPPM Application Administration Guide for details.
- In the Allow Multiple User Sessions field, select whether a single user can simultaneously log in to P6 on different machines.
The default value is Yes.
You can select one of the following:
- Selecting "Yes" allows a single user to log in multiple times on the same machine or different machines.
Notes: The following restrictions apply when you select "Yes" for multiple user sessions:
- Users must use Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome when logging in more than once on the same machine. See the Tested Configurations document for supported versions.
- If you want users to log in multiple times on the same machine (either with the same user name or with different user names), you must set the Allow Multiple User Sessions setting to Yes. The other settings will not allow the user to log in multiple times.
- Selecting "No" allows a single user to log in only once with the same user name. If the user tries to log in again while another session is active, the log in will fail. A session can still be active if the user has closed the browser without logging out of P6. The user will have to wait until the session resets before they can log in again.
- Selecting "Single Machine" allows a user to log in once on a machine. The user can log in again on the same machine if they close their browser without logging out; they will not have to wait for the session to reset. If they close their browser without logging out, they can immediately log in again on the same machine they were using; the user won't be able to log in on a different machine unless they wait for the session to reset.
- Selecting "Yes" allows a single user to log in multiple times on the same machine or different machines.
- In the Log Login Attempts field, select whether login attempts to P6 are tracked in the logs. You can choose to log the following:
