Several users connected to the IBM TS4300 tape library at the same time

Currently, only one person (on Operator Panel or Management GUI) can be logged in to the IBM TS4300 tape library at the same time.
The customer would like several person to be able to connect to the library at the same time.

    The current design point is that only one admin or superuser user can be logged in at any time and no more than two users (administrator or superuser + a monitor user) at one time.

    See following examples:

    administrator + administrator = No
    administrator + superuser = No
    administrator + monitor = Yes
    superuser + superuser = No
    superuser + monitor = Yes
    monitor + monitor = Yes
    monitor + monitor + monitor = No

    There's no plan to change this behavior at this time. Advanced security requirements like this are supported by the TS4500 tape library.
