Store the session cookie into the users table when a user logs in. Set a before filter that checks the session key before serving any request. If it's different from the one in the users table, redirect the user to the login page. When a user logs in with an account another user logged in with the same account will be required to log in. If two users keep trying to access the service with the same account they'll end up logging out each other. However if a legitimate user tries to access your service with two browsers at the same time, s/he'll may end up a little upset.
