+Client Support</title><shortdesc>This document describes how multiple clients can access a driver
+over a single logical channel.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>A single channel has a single handle which is shared by driver users. A
+driver can allow or prevent the sharing of a handle to a logical channel between
+multiple users. This policy is implemented by the <xref href="GUID-A3CC1D95-4681-3349-A67C-F113A614041D.dita#GUID-A3CC1D95-4681-3349-A67C-F113A614041D/GUID-9E23019E-7383-371E-B63C-85500F6B653D"><apiname>DLogicalChannel::RequestUserHandle()</apiname></xref> function.
+The default implementation does not restrict sharing of the channel, but a
+driver can override the function to change this. </p>
+<p>In the following example, the driver ensures that only the intended clients
+can get the handle and access the driver. Any other client that tries to share
+the handle gets a <codeph>KErrAccessDenied</codeph> error. </p>
+<codeblock id="GUID-2FEB04B3-ABD3-58E4-BFDB-0AD947BA6E16" xml:space="preserve">TInt DExDriverLogicalChannel::RequestUserHandle(DThread* aThread,
+        TOwnerType aType)
+    {
+    // Handle should be provided only to the intended client. Any 
+    // other clients that try to get a handle to the driver should get an access 
+    // denied error.

+the user from sharing or duplicating an existing channel. It does not restrict
+another process from opening its own separate channel on the same device. </p>
+<p> <note> More than one user can access the driver at the same time. It is
+up to the driver to manage and provide correct and secure access to the driver. </note></p>
