Available Settings

  • Refresh Time — How often user sessions need to be refreshed.
  • Max Session Duration — The maximum length of time a user session can remain active before the user must sign in again.

Update Session Settings

  1. Select a Refresh Time from the dropdown.
  2. Select a Max Session Duration from the dropdown.
  3. Select Update Session Settings to apply the changes.

Recommendations

  • Set the refresh time to 8–12 hours for a good user experience.
  • Set the max session duration to 1–7 days for security.
The refresh time should always be less than the max session duration.

The Login sessions list shows every active session and device, including the last activity, expiration date, and status. From here you can:
  • Terminate a session — Immediately sign out that device.
  • Extend a session — Extend the expiration date of a session.
