If a session is still open because another user leaved without closing,
a new connection would close it anyway or at least prompt the new user
for 'kill current admin session y/n?'
To do that, I need to check a flag in the database for any action in the
current session (to see if a new connection is active and close brutally
the current session if needed. I would like to avoid this check in db.
