user specific browser timeout

viku7474 — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 08:03:02 GMT

I want to create a dedicated role with its own browser timeout settings, while keeping the default timeout settings for all other roles.

(Basically I am creating a dedicated role for a specific user to access a dashboard which doesn't get logged out - So I will increase the timeout settings - Which should be applicable only for that sepcific role)

I read this Configure user session timeouts - Splunk Documentation
but looks like it is a general settings applicable for all.

Anyone succeeded by having a user specific browser timeout?

@viku7474 "ui_inactivity_timeout" is the trigger to start the countdown for the session option to change the setting for their entire UI stack access for all users.
For example, if you set "ui_inactivity_timeout" to "0," then it will never timeout. https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/9.0/welcome-to-splunk-enterprise-administration/manage-users/configure-user-session-timeouts

May be this might help, old answer relevant to this: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/7233/user-specific-browser-session-timeout.html

The session timeout setting is global. There are no user-specific or role-specific timeout settings.
