## 3.6. Forcing the Sign-out of a User

A system administrator can force the sign-out of concurrent users who are logged in to the EKM server. When viewing the list of users on the Administration/Users page, users who are currently signed in to EKM have a green icon next to their name.

To sign out a user who is currently signed in, select the user and then select (More) > Force sign-out on the toolbar. The user will immediately be signed out of EKM, and the icon next to their name will change to white .

Note:

- You cannot sign out a user who is part of the `admin` group.

- If a user is currently connected to more than one workspace via a web browser (see Making Simultaneous Connections), forcibly signing out the user from one workspace will disconnect the user from the other workspace(s) as well.
