Hello

You could activate the Security audit log and trace user connections to check if users are connecting from different terminal.

If not already done you can forbid concurrent user connections using parameter login/disable_multi_gui_login

Hi Jonathan,

You can get the required information of logon terminal of users from the table USR41, which will record the last logon information.

But if you are looking for historical data to get the terminal details, you need to activate the security audit log in SM19 for dialog logon, and then check the terminal details in SM20.

You can also get the terminal details using the FM SWNC_GET_STATRECS_FRAME, but this provides data from past 2 days.

Regards,

Laxman

Hi,

You can also take a look at table USR41_MLD for some useful info.

sm20 is good tool to find out, make sure the multi logon is disabled by profile parameter login/disable_multi_gui_login and users type is Dialog.
