How to disallow parallel sessions by role?

[hellomoto]

I just found the Session Handler DB setting to Disallow parallel sessions after already starting this thread... so in SessionHandlerDB.module function HookLoginSuccess:

if(!$user->hasRole('roll')) return;

(etc.)

I'd be curious if this is actually what you want though. I mean you can maybe ensure that your webserver doesn't handle requests for a given user in parallel, but if requests don't happen at the same time the user might still be working in multiple tabs on different parts of your website.

It restricts that functionality of the module to a specified role, which is about as far as I'm taking it.

I was more concerned about the "in parallel" aspect, than anything else.
