Simultaneously logged in users
Assuming that the users aren’t publishing in the same section, is it safe for multiple users to be working at the same time?
Risks?
Thank you!

Sure: there’s no conflict resolution mechanism if two users are editing the same data simultaneously, so one user’s changes can be inadvertently overridden by another’s. Edit: See Stuart’s post, below: I didn’t know this.
But if you’re talking about articles, unless you are assigning high privileges to multiple users, this wouldn’t ordinarily be a problem.

Re: Simultaneously logged in users
If my memory serves me correctly, if 2 users happen to be editing the same form, article, image or whatever, the second one that saves the item will get a warning message that the item has been modified by “xxxx” and they will be asked if they want to continue with the save, or something similar to that.

Revision: r2857 – Textpattern @ Google Code
Concurrent article edit warning. When trying to save an existing article that has been modified by someone else while you were editing it, this patch does not save the article at first, but shows a warning instead. If you choose to ignore the warning, you can save the article by pressing the Save button a second time.
There’s also a rather dated plugin that is supposed to let you know if someone else is editing the same article prior to saving: nok_edit_alarm v0.1a

Re: Simultaneously logged in users
Thanks, Mike, for confirming this so unequivocally, and for posting the plugin code. I have a client who’s a bit overly concerned about this issue. These two will appease him.
nok_edit_alarm is still working, with a little detour, though.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Your welcome Uli!
Thanks for the tip on making nok_edit_alarm work.
