Session timeout setting extended to a maximum of 365 days

The session timeout setting can now be set to a maximum of 365 days. Administrators of digital workplaces with predominantly frontline and deskless users can leverage this additional functionality to remove friction for those users who infrequently visit their digital workplace and, as a result, must authenticate every visit. This greater flexibility in timeout options helps administrators configure their digital workplace to best accommodate their users.  

While you can set your digital workplace's session timeout to 365 days — we recommend you always discuss this setting with your organization's security experts to ensure that it aligns with your internal IT and security policies.
