    Hi David,

    If I understood your question correctly, then you can add multiple users in CF admin and assign permission and roles. They can use single license for Admin and RDS both, also they can access it concurrently and non-concurrently.

    Please check the article.

    In CF 10 single user cannot access Admin at the same time because of the security feature. However if you add the User and assign roles to that user then both the users can access the admin.

    Hope this answers your question.

    Thanks,

    Priyank

    For the use of this very clear adminsitracion what you show me,

    but I need to know for development if a license can enter more no-concurrent users.

    David, first, are you referring to users making requests of CFML pages running on the server? I suspect so, as opposed to Priyank’s thinking you were talking about admin users. Very different topics.

    Second, are you asking about what happens on the free Development edition? Or by referring to “a license”, do you refer instead to a Standard or Enterprise-licensed version of CF?

    If you have a paid license installed in CF, then there is no limit to how many users “can use one license”.

    If you are using the free Developer edition (no paid license installed), CF10 does handle the throttling of users different than CF9 and earlier. In CF10, up to a few concurrent requests can run at once. In CF9 and earlier, only a few different ip addresses could make requests against a CF developer edition instance, after which no new requests were accepted from any other IPs until CF was restarted.

    The new approach in CF10 is far more flexible, while still ensuring that the free Developer edition is not misused for production purposes.

    Does that answer the question you were asking?
