When do user sessions expire due to inactivity?

User session timeouts play an important role in keeping your workplace secure. When users stay logged in but aren’t active for a certain period, their sessions can expire automatically. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access, especially if someone leaves their device unattended.

HybridHero allows administrators to set custom session timeout duration based on their organization's needs, striking a balance between usability and data protection.

What This Feature Does

When enabled, the session expiry feature will:

• Automatically log out users after a defined period of inactivity
• Protect sensitive information from accidental exposure
• Help manage system performance more efficiently
• Support compliance with security policies

This ensures only active and authenticated users stay signed in.

How to Set Session Timeout in HybridHero

Follow these steps to adjust session expiration settings:

1. Login to your HybridHero account
2. Go to your Dashboard
3. Click on the Company Settings tab
4. Open the General Settings section

5. Select the Password Management tab

6. Locate the option Session Expiration (Web) to set Session Timing 

7. Choose a time duration based on how long you want sessions to stay active

8. Click the Save button to apply changes

Once saved, users will be logged out automatically after the selected time of inactivity.

Setting up session expiry ensures a secure experience for users while allowing administrators to tailor security rules to match the organization’s environment. It’s a small but powerful feature that adds peace of mind without interrupting workflow.
