Is there a secret configuration option to allow me to limit how long a user remains signed-in? I would like users to be signed-out automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity. Thanks for any pointers.

OK so this is a security threat - I will start a new thread

Luke the whole world does not live in strictly controlled office environments. Take open access sites within an academic institution and machines within libraries etc. Many do not see supplying a browser interface as a security risk. I totally agree that people can configure their hardware and sof…

@Sailsman63 That’s a fair question. Environments which commonly use a shared desktop experience include libraries, schools, and hospitals, though there are others. As you might imagine, driving factors include a focus on ease of use (asking first grade children to remember their username is hard en…
