# Minimize Concurrent Interactive Sessions with Limit Concurrent Sessions Plugin

# Minimize Concurrent Interactive Sessions with Limit Concurrent Sessions Plugin {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Manage the number of interactive sessions on your instance.
The glide.authenticate.limit.concurrent.interactive.sessions system property controls the number of active sessions that can be open for a user when the Limit Concurrent Sessions
(com.glide.limit.concurrent.sessions) plugin is enabled. It is recommended that this value be the default of <kbd class="ph userinput">1</kbd> to reduce the number of sessions that can be left open for a user.

Ensure that the property glide.authenticate.limit.concurrent.interactive.sessions is set to <kbd class="ph userinput">1</kbd> when the Limit Concurrent Sessions (com.glide.limit.concurrent.sessions) plugin is
active.

| Category | [Session management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jJnJ0Q0eYjnQREHSQvPPjA "This category looks at the security of the application state for a user. Sessions should be unique to each individual, unable to be guessed or shared, and invalidated after periods of inactivity or when not required. This includes factors such as cookie attributes for cookie-based sessions, session token generation, and storage and requirements for federated re-authentication.") |
