How do you make a user never log out?

In our Splunk Cloud install, we use SAML authentication for all regular users. However, we have also defined an internal-auth-only low-privilege user that we use to log into company dashboards where we don't want a personal SAML login used.

How can we keep this one user's sessions from ever expiring? I suspect that the never_expire and never_lockout capabilities are not what I'm looking for.
