Set a user time out

By default, a user can remain inactive in Inspire for 15 minutes. After that time is exceeded, if the user is still inactive they will see a warning. If no action is taken the user is automatically signed out. An administrator can change this interval of time or disable the inactivity timer.

Default - 15 minutes

  • After a user signs into Inspire, they can remain inactive for 15 minutes. After that time, they see a warning.
  • The user can select to stay signed in or sign out.
  • If no action is taken the user is automatically signed out and returned to the Sign in page.

Customized Timeout settings

  • Make sure you enter a number that represents the interval time in minutes. For example, if you want to allow 2 hours of inactivity, you must enter 120.
  • Do not enter the word minutes.

  • Entering 0 or anything less than 0 disables the inactivity timer.

    • Keep in mind that disabling this timer may prevent other users from signing into Inspire if you have shared or limited licenses.

To set a user time out:

  1. From the Administration menu, select Advanced Settings, and then Features management.
  2. On the Features Management tab:
    1. After UserInactivityTimeoutInMinute, note the number. Any number equal to 1 or greater enables the timeout feature.
    2. After UserInactivityTimeoutInMinute, click Update.
  3. To change the period of time that a user can remain inactive:

    • To enable the feature, enter a number that represents the interval time in minutes. Do not enter the word minutes.
    • To disable the feature, enter 0 or anything less than 0.
  4. Click Update.

    Results:

    The next time a user signs in to Inspire:

    • If you kept this feature enabled, the user is allowed to be inactive for the amount of time you specified before automatically being signed out.
    • If you disabled this feature, the user is never automatically signed out of Inspire by an inactivity timer.
