User Session Expiration

Default Behavior

By default, when a user logs into FileCloud, their session remains authenticated for a specified amount of time.

Enabling Session Expiration for all Devices

If you want all login sessions for all user devices (including web browsers) to expire and require re-login, set the policy to Enforce Session Timeout for All Devices.  

1. In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Policies

   

   .
   The Policies settings page opens.
2. Click the Edit icon in the row for the users' policy.
   

   

3. Click the User Policy tab.
4. In order to enable the Enforce session timeout for devices using code-based device authentication setting, scroll down to the setting Enable code-based device authentication and set it to yes.
   Now Enforce session timeout for devices using code-based device authentication is enabled.
5. Set Enforce session timeout for devices using code-based device authentication to yes.
   

   

6. Click Save.

Note: We don't recommend requiring session expiration for devices and other clients as it might impact functionality and reduce user friendliness.
