Hi,

 

The session of each virtual user includes a single execution of Initial actions, then the repeat of Main pages, and at the end a single execution of Final actions.

 

Iteration is a step-by-step pass of the Main test sequence. The number of iterations per user session is specified in profile properties.

 

So, your virtual user can login only once, then run the actions from Main section as many times as specified, and then logoff also only one time.
