Hi there,

I made a local working copy of the NOU specify database (for testing purpose) and some users were _logged in_ when I exported the database.  
So now on my local working copy I cannot open **System Setup Configuration** because Specify 6 detects that _some users are logged in_.

![Screenshot from 2023-10-26 17-09-21](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/specifysoftware/original/2X/0/08b189d5a420fbe99d6ebc02634107098b3bb6f5.png)

How can I clean it up please ? Or force log off these users ?

Regards,  
Philippe V.

Hi @pverley,

You will need to run SQL statements on the database to force log out all other users. You can run the following SQL statement on your database to set the logged in status to ‘false’:

```sql
UPDATE specifyuser SET IsLoggedIn = 0;

```

Once this is done, you should be able to access the Collection Setup Configuration tool without any issue!
