Do you mean: create new users? I really don't understand the question

Sorry. What i mean is that how to make one account can be logged in in different places at the same time? And the account that has been logged in will not be forced to be offline when the same account is logged in.
Thanks and best wishes!

Sorry, you cannot.

If User1 logs in and 5 minutes afterwards another person logs in as User1, then the first person gets automatically logged out.

You can have two of persons using the same username simultaneously.

But you can create two uses with the same permissions. That's actually a lot better.

Sorry, I should have clarified...

Instead of trying to use the same user from two different computers, you should create two users that have the same permissions. That is if User1 is a teacher on Course "Math 101", then create a User2 that is *also* teacher on the Math101 course.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot!

Could you kindly pls let me know are there any corresponding settings in the configuration of lams? Or
are there any other ways to make it possible to log in the same user in different places at the same time?

Thanks and regards,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at all. As LAMS will overwrite the session of a user that is already logged in.

Thanks for your kind reply.

I have just studies the java code of LAMS, and i found that the session is managed by ThreadLocal. I wonder whether the java code can be changed or not?

The advantage of open source software is that you can change the code as much as you want. So please go right ahead... I'll be interested to know how far you get with this.

Thanks,
