Session limits sign people out after a period of inactivity, and after a maximum time even if they're active. This protects pay data on shared or unattended computers.

Who can do this: Administrators.

What users see

When a session ends, the sign-in page explains why:

  • "You were signed out after a period of inactivity…"

  • "Your session reached its maximum age…"

They simply sign in again.

Good to know

  • Someone who belongs to several organisations gets the strictest limits of all their organisations.

  • Sign-ins and sign-outs, including the reason, are recorded in the audit log.
