Hi
You can't that is the limitation of professional, thats why microsoft says you can a workgroup up to 10 users, after that you have to get a server. Now if you are running in a workgroup environment, that implies every workstation has its own security, therefore get several of the users to use same login, you might even try to put the users in a local group, and see if you can get more than 10, if you can, then give the permission to the group and not the individuals.

good luck

Windows2K Professional will ONLY allow a maximum of 10 concurrent connections. It does not matter if multiple users use the same login, it doesn't matter if the users are members of a local group. Each connection to a shared resource, whether from the computer on which the resource is hosted or from other computers in the workgroup, count against that maximum. This rule holds for all Microsoft desktop operating systems (vs. server software).
