Idle Timeout
Automatically return to your own account if you stop using a switched session.
Go to SwitchUser → Advanced → Advanced Security → Idle Timeout (minutes).
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Idle Timeout (minutes) | 0 | Minutes of inactivity before automatic switch-back. 0 turns it off |
How It Works
- Each page you load while switched records the time of your last activity.
- On your next page load, if more than the set number of minutes have passed, SwitchUser switches you back to your own account automatically.
- The automatic switch-back is recorded in the Audit Log as a
switch_backevent.
There's no background timer - an idle browser tab stays switched until it loads another page.
💡
30 minutes suits most support work. Turn it off (0) for long testing sessions.
See Session Duration for the hard time limit that applies regardless of activity.
