Many times organization users remain signed in and leave their workspace open and which can be dangerous sometime as most of your valuable information resides in your Office 365 account (i.e. emails, files, events, videos, chat history and a lot more). Well now you can control this as an IT administrator. Office 365 has introduced a wonderful feature called Ideal session sign-out.
Here are steps to configure it
Go to https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal and navigate to SharePoint Admin center
Click on Try it now for new Admin center
From your new Admin center, click Access Control from Side Navigation
Select Idle session sign-out option from your Access control screen
Enable sign out inactive users automatically
As soon as you enable the option, you will see two more settings to configure:
Sign out users after
This means, if the user is inactive after the configured value here, he / she will be signed out automatically
Give users this much notice before signing them out
That means before the given time of sign out, user will start seeing below popup and they still have option to remain signed in
Save your settings and you are done!
