Session Timeout​

Set the maximum duration a user session can remain active before requiring re-authentication.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Session
  2. Set the Session Timeout duration (e.g., 8 hours, 24 hours, 7 days)
  3. Click Save

After the timeout expires, users are redirected to the login page.

Idle Timeout​

Set how long a session can remain idle (no user activity) before it expires.

  1. Set the Idle Timeout duration (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours)
  2. Click Save

When a session idles past the timeout, the user is automatically signed out and must re-authenticate.

Persistent Sessions​

Enable or disable the Remember Me option on the login page:

  • Enabled — Users can check "Remember Me" to extend their session across browser restarts
  • Disabled — Sessions always end when the browser is closed

Best Practices​

  • Set shorter idle timeouts for workspaces handling sensitive data (15–30 minutes)
  • Use session timeouts that balance security with usability — 8–24 hours is typical
  • Disable persistent sessions if your security policy requires re-authentication on each browser session
