    Default Simultaneous Admin Users

    We are working to get our new site up and going. We have one SA user and two Admin users that have been periodically updating products, categories, etc. The problem is, everyone keeps getting logged out when more than one Admin user is working. Our Admin timeout is set for 30 minutes. Does ASPDNSF allow multiple admin users to make changes to the site simultaneously?

    Yes, you can have multiple admins logged in at a time. We have at least three at a time.

    One word of caution ... make sure each Admin knows what the other is doing. If Admin A is entering inventory for Manufacturer Foo and Admin B is also doing the same Manufacturer but different products, the first one to click "update inventory" wins, the other loses all their work. Found that out the hard way

    FYI problem resolution - the real underlying problem was a lack of system resources since we were on a shared account. Not a problem with multiple admins at all. We moved to a larger server with more memory and no further problems encountered.

    Surely the last one to update wins?
    If you & I both log into the same site & pull up a page to update the inventory for the same products - then you set all the values to 1 & I set all the values to 2.
    When you hit update - all values will be set to 1 - If I then hit update - all values will be set to 2 - I won......
