Community Archive (Customer) asked a question.
Can you have a different timeout amount for users defined as Admin's?
I know that the default value of the timeout attribute of the sessionState node is currently defaulted to 20 minutes. Is there any way you can have a separate timeout attribute for Admins on the system? We like the fact that the users will get logged off automatically after 20 minutes as most are usually done with their downloads and forget to log off. It would be nice if the "Admin" users had a different timeout amount (longer) - is that possible and I'm missing it in the documentation?
The session timeout of 20 minutes is set per connection interface (web (HTTP/S), FTP or SSH). Since most users, including Admins logon via the web interface, everyone is subject to the same timeout value no matter what their user class is.
