Configuring force user log out

Starting in Maximo® Application Suite 9.1, as an administrator, you can automatically log out a user to perform system maintenance or to ensure that inactive sessions are available for other users.

About this task

Note: Force user log out is available to all suite applications except Maximo Real Estate and Facilities.

Procedure

  1. On the side navigation menu, select Suite > Administration > User sessions.
  2. Select the user for whom you want to log out.
  3. Click More actions > Force logout.
  4. Specify the following options.
    Field Description
    Time in minutes before user is logged out

    The amount of time before the forced logout is applied. The time is displayed to the user in a system message.

    If you specify the time as zero minutes, the user is logged out immediately.
    Time in minutes before user can log in again

    The amount of time before the user can log in to system after a forced logout.
    Tip: If a user ends a session without logging out, the concurrent AppPoints are not returned to the pool of AppPoints for 30 minutes. To ensure that all sessions are available, you can log out that user immediately if you set the Time in minutes before user is logged out to zero.

Results

The user is logged out. A message is shown in the user interface every minute to notify the user before they are logged out and specifies the time that you defined. Users can select to turn off the message.
