Server Settings

In the Server Settings section, you can enable GitHub authorization, allowing users to sign in with their GitHub credentials. Additionally, you can configure the instance to allow login only through SSO and here you can enable or disable Google Analytics.

Authorization configuration​

Inactivity timeout​

ADMIN can configure session expiration per instance.

For that, the ADMIN needs to navigate to Administrate > Server Settings and set up the duration of user inactivity before automatic logout in 'Inactivity timeout' block:

  • 15 minutes
  • 1 hour
  • 12 hours
  • 24 hours (default value)

The user is logged out if their session inactivity exceeds the defined timeout.

If the user is working in multiple tabs and the inactivity timeout is reached in one tab while they are still active in another, the user remains logged in until the timeout is reached in all tabs.

  1. Log in as ADMIN.
