Is there a way to see which users are logged in to a BF app at any given time?

We sometimes have to bounce FMS and have no way of reaching out to BF users connected at the time to let them know of the outage.

Users authenticate with username/pwd so presumably a list of “live” users could be obtained?

Thanks!

Hey Yuval,  
if you are using bf-staging you can use the messages to find out who is connected and show them an alert ([Messaging - FM BetterForms](https://docs.fmbetterforms.com/reference/messaging-ver-0.10.14+)). Or if you are not using bf-staging then you could check your FileMaker inbox for the latest calls. However, that wouldn’t give you a “live” list of who is currently using your app.

Ok great thanks Michael, i’ll look into bf-staging further.
