I imagine this may have been covered before, but here  it goes anyway:

The limit on the number of simultaneously connected users has not
changed from AppleShare 1.0 to AppleShare 2.0; both will allow up
to 25 simultaneous users if the Server is running on a 68000 machine
with 1MB of memory, such as a Mac Plus or Mac SE, and will allow
up to 50 simultaneous users if the Server has at least 2MB of memory
and a 68020 or 68030 processor, such as an SE/30, Mac II, IIx, or IIcx.
The number is not directly configurable.

The number of authorized users is limited only by such outside 
considerationsas disk space, speed of AppleShare Admin, administrative 
headache, etc.  Practically speaking, I suppose around 1,200 users is
a reasonable limit.

                        Hope this clears it up,
