Limit an account from accessing the same file over multiple device

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hallo QV geniuses,

Is it possible to limit an account from accessing the same file over multiple device using a browser? We have a client and we don't want that he will "share" his account with another person and both can open the file at the same time. I want that when he logs-in, and other user will try to login using the same account, it will log him out.

I hope you can help me on this.

Cheers,

Reagan

Hi,

This is not possible.

Instead you can have a look at session collaboration.

By that owner can lease/ Share session with any users for 15 minutes they both can work simultaneously.

Hi Reagan,

This is by default. If you have a session open in browser/device A, and you log on to browser/device B, the session on browser/device A will be killed/transferred to the other unit.

If you do not trust your users however, you might want to start by limiting the data they can access.
