Customize Employee Hub Session Timeout
The Session Timeout is a required security standard to prevent unauthorized access, which is why we cannot disable it. However, there is the option to customize the timeout duration.
Configuring Session Timeout
- Navigate to HR Admin in Salesforce
- Go to Hub Settings
- Click on Security
You will see an empty field titled "Inactivity Timeout". You can add the specified period of inactivity (in minutes). After this time, employees will be logged out of their Hubs automatically.
Setting the Timeout Duration
Enter the number of minutes you want the session to remain active before automatically logging out inactive users. For example:
- 30 minutes: Standard timeout for most organizations
- 60 minutes: Longer session for convenience
- 15 minutes: Shorter session for enhanced security
The timeout applies to all Employee Hub users and helps maintain security by automatically logging out users who have been inactive for the specified period.
