Question

Hi Team,

For Jira 4.4.5:-

How long will the Jira session be active if left unattended after long on or while working in some page.?

How long will the jira be active if the user leaves the application unattended when the dashboard page is refreshing?

Can we set the session timeout?

Thanks,

Harish

It's easy to set - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Changing+the+default+session+timeout

The default timeout is different in different versions.

Also be aware that remeber me changes things a little here - if your session has timed out with remember me, then you will get a new session automatically if you come back after the timeout, so it appears that there is no session timeout, but there is.

If you leave the dashboard open, you will never reach the end of a session as many gadgets auto refresh every so often.
