How do I set global user session limits?

Purpose

You can configure limits for NSP user sessions such as maximum inactivity time, maximum GUI sessions per user, and so on. These configurations are set globally and apply to all users. They cannot be configured per user.

Steps

Open Users and Security.

Select Users from the drop-down list on the toolbar.

Click More Actions, Session Settings.

In the Session Settings form, configure user session limits in any of the following ways:

UI Session Inactivity Timeout ¹	The number of minutes of user session inactivity before the user is automatically logged out of NSP.
Maximum Session Time	The absolute maximum length of a user session (in minutes) before the user is automatically logged out of NSP.
Maximum Time to Complete Login	The maximum time allowed (in minutes) for a user to complete an NSP login.
Maximum Time to Complete Login Steps	The maximum time allowed (in minutes) for an NSP login sequence that involves multiple steps; for example, if the user must change their password during login.
Maximum UI Sessions Per User ²	The maximum number of simultaneous GUI sessions per user account. When this parameter is set to zero, the number of sessions per user is unlimited.
Maximum OSS Sessions Per User	The maximum number of simultaneous OSS sessions per user account. When this parameter is set to zero, the number of sessions per user is unlimited.
OSS Access Token Lifespan	The number of minutes before an OSS access token expires.
Verify Email	The user is required to verify their e-mail address at first login or after e-mail address changes.
Forget Password	Provides the user with a “Forgot Password?” login page link. The link prompts the user to start a password reset process. This setting applies only to local users; it does not apply to remote users.

Notes:

Some NSP UI views are in continuous communication while in use, and a user session does not become idle as long as the user has that view open, such as when viewing an alarm list.
If a user login attempt exceeds the Maximum UI Sessions Per User limit, the sign-in page displays an error message. If you increase the parameter value to allow more sessions per user, refreshing the sign-in page with the error message opens a session using the previously entered credentials.

Click Save.
