+### Queue Scheduling
+
+The image generation queue is processed by a single worker, so jobs run one at a time. The `session_queue_mode` option controls the order in which pending jobs are selected:
+
+| Mode | Behavior |
+|------|----------|
+| `round_robin` (default) | Interleaves jobs across users — each user is served one job before any user is served a second. A single user enqueuing a large batch can no longer monopolize the queue. |
+| `FIFO` | Strict first-come, first-serve. Jobs run in the order they were enqueued (respecting priority), so a large batch drains completely before the next user's jobs start. |
+
+Set it in `invokeai.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+multiuser: true
+session_queue_mode: round_robin   # or FIFO
+```
+
+Or via the `INVOKEAI_SESSION_QUEUE_MODE` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+INVOKEAI_SESSION_QUEUE_MODE=FIFO
+```
+
+:::note
+`session_queue_mode` only applies in multiuser mode. In single-user mode the queue is always FIFO regardless of this setting, since all jobs belong to the same account.
+:::
+
+Round-robin fairness is determined from when each user's jobs were last started. Retained terminal queue history (see [`max_queue_history`](#configuration-reference)) does not slow dequeue scheduling — each dequeue's cost scales with the number of users who currently have pending jobs, not with the size of the history.

 ### How many users can InvokeAI support?
 
-The backend will support dozens of concurrent users. However, because the image generation queue is single-threaded, image generation tasks are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. This means that a user may have to wait for all the other users' image generation jobs to complete before their generation job starts to execute.
+The backend will support dozens of concurrent users. However, because the image generation queue is single-threaded, only one job runs at a time. By default jobs are scheduled **round-robin** across users, so each user is served one job per turn and no single user can monopolize the queue with a large batch. You can switch to strict first-come, first-serve ordering with `session_queue_mode: FIFO` — see [Queue Scheduling](#queue-scheduling).
 
 A future version of InvokeAI may support concurrent execution on systems with multiple GPUs/graphics cards.

 :::tip[The generation queue]
-When two or more users are accessing InvokeAI at the same time, their image generation jobs will be placed on the session queue on a first-come, first-serve basis. This means that you will have to wait for other users' image rendering jobs to complete before yours will start.
+When two or more users are accessing InvokeAI at the same time, their image generation jobs share a single session queue. By default the server schedules jobs **round-robin** across users: each user gets one turn before anyone gets a second turn. This means a user who enqueues a large batch can no longer monopolize the queue — your jobs are interleaved with theirs rather than waiting for their entire batch to drain first. (An administrator can switch the server back to strict first-come, first-serve ordering; see the admin guide.)
 
-While other users' jobs are running you will see the shared image generation progress bar, and the queue badge will show a single number — the count of your own jobs that are pending or in progress. It does not show other users' counts.
+While other users' jobs are running you will see the shared image generation progress bar, and the queue badge shows **`your jobs / all jobs`** — for example `2/5` means 2 of the 5 pending-or-in-progress jobs are yours. (In single-user mode the badge shows just a single total.)
 
 Open the Queue tab to see where your job sits in relation to the other queued tasks.
