The Users list shows the current state of the users logged in to the repository. Each row represents one logged-in user, and shows their name, user ID, client ID, status and Communication type. The name and user ID correspond to those in manager.ab, whereas the client ID is dynamically assigned when the user logs in: the first user to log in is 1, the second 2 and so on. The Communication type column shows the details of the communication protocol being used between the client and the server: this can be either socket or file communication. Socket communication is the default, and is noticeably faster; file communication is only used if socket communication cannot be established. For a socket connection you can see the network address of the client and the dynamic port used at the client end of the connection.

Pressing Refresh will update the list, requesting the information from the server. Pressing Logout User will logout the selected user, whereas Logout All will logout all users. Logging out yourself in this way is not recommended: if you do it by mistake, you will encounter a MetaEdit+ error dialog and should select to Exit MetaEdit+.
