 * Hi
 * Can you have multiple users for the same username without implications?
    e.g.
   two or three editors using the same username
 * Thanks

 * You can have a single account that can be accessed by three different people,
   but you can’t have three seperate accounts with the same username.
 * The main concern would be when it’s editing. If each user is signed in as the
   same account, then they won’t get any warning that someone else is editing which
   ever piece of content that they are on, and that could easily leaed to some changes
   being lost.
