Configure the Idle User Timeout
Required permissions: Admin Account Settings Edit
By default, CXone logs your users out when they have been inactive for 20 minutes. You can adjust this setting to better meet the needs of your organization. This setting affects all users, but only when they are logged in to the CXone web portal (for example, this timeout setting does not impact users logged in to MAX).
- Click the app selector and select Admin.
- Click Account Settings.
- If you don't want inactive users to ever be automatically logged out of the CXone web portal, slide the Idle Timeout toggle to Off.
- If you want to adjust the length of time before inactive users are automatically logged out, set the values you want in the Hours and Minutes fields. The minimum value you can configure is 5 minutes. If you want to set the timeout for more than 8 hours, you must turn the setting off.
