Warn Users Before Logout to Prevent Work Disruption

Security should not surprise people in the middle of a task. Display a countdown warning before ending the session so users can continue intentionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Automatic Login Timeout in EnterpriseTube?

Automatic Login Timeout logs users out after a specified period of inactivity, reducing the risk of unauthorized access when a device is left unattended.

What counts as inactivity?

Inactivity typically refers to a lack of user interaction within the session, such as no clicks, navigation, or other activity in the web interface for the configured duration.

Can users get a warning before being logged out?

Yes. You can enable a warning prompt with a countdown so users can choose to stay signed in before the session ends.

Can we apply different timeout settings for different roles or areas?

Many organizations enforce stricter timeouts for privileged access. Depending on your policy setup, you can align shorter timeouts with higher-risk areas like admin consoles.

Does Automatic Login Timeout affect active video playback?

If there is no user interaction for the configured duration, the session may expire even if content is playing. Organizations often tune the timeout and warning to match usage patterns.

How does this help with compliance?

Session timeouts are a common control in security frameworks. Enforcing them helps reduce exposure from unattended sessions and supports audit readiness through consistent policy enforcement.
