Superusers are always allowed to use a session, counting toward the CONCURRENT_SESSSIONS count. If a Superuser logs on, a non-superuser may find that a session is no longer available when he or she attempts to edit a map.

This is desired behavior to keep the number of editing users at the desired number. But it may seem odd to the non-superuser who got the boot.

Not counting superusers at all toward the session count is one way to resolve this - on a small instance or one with a lot of superusers, that won't be an appropriate fix though. We should discuss the mechanics of superusers stealing sessions.
