Secure administrator sessions
Confluence protects access to its administrative functions by a special administrator
session. When a user attempts to access the Administration Console or space
administration, they are prompted to log in again. This logs the administrator into a
temporary secure session that grants access to those administration screens. In other
parts of the documentation this feature is also referred to as
WebSudo
.
The administrator session has a rolling timeout of 10 minutes (default). This means
that if there is no activity in the Confluence or space administration for 10 minutes,
the user will be logged out of the administrator session. If the user does click on any
administrative function, the timeout will be reset.
To configure the secure administrator sessions:
1.
Browse to the Administration Console (
Administration
|
Confluence Admin
).
2.

Security Configuration
in the left-hand menu.

checkbox next to

minutes before automatic invalidation
.
