By querying or listing all open connections, you can understand how many sessions are opened at any moment. The details for each connection include the session ID, client IP address, user name, user login time, consolidated list of read/write requests, access mode, and total number of other requests received. You can drill-down to extract per-connection details, such as the group that the user is a member of.
