Idle Timeout
Automatically switch back to the original admin account after a period of inactivity.
Navigate to SwitchGuard → Settings → Security → Idle Timeout.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Idle Timeout (minutes) | 0 | Minutes of inactivity before auto-switch-back (0 = disabled) |
How It Works
When the idle timer expires:
- An AJAX heartbeat check detects inactivity.
- The switch-back process is triggered automatically.
- An
auto_switch_backevent is recorded in the audit log.
The idle timer resets on any page load or AJAX activity within the switched session.
💡
Set idle timeout to 30 minutes for most support workflows. Set to 0 (disabled) for development sessions where long pauses are common.
