Session timeout for a Single username (not group) in Splunk Enterprise

Hello, hoping someone can guide me here. Trying to find a way to have a single usernames dashboard session timeout be different from the group that they are in. Using Splunk enterprise and trying to find a way to just change the single user's timeout. Is this possible? Can't find any resources online for this. 

Thanks.

The session timeout is system-wide and not selectable per-user or per-role.

I am able to change it per role. Eg: I can set it differently for User vs Admins. But was hoping it can just change it for a single user.

Perhaps we're thinking of different time limit settings.

If you can set a per-role value then assign the special user to a new role with the desired value.  Have the new role inherit from their existing role so they keep the same capabilities and access.
