Timeout Limit Notifications
---------------------------

Timeout Limit Notifications are displayed in accordance with the Credential Policy
that is associated with a user. See: :ref:`deploy_a_customized_credential_policy`
and :ref:`session_timeout_rules`.

From 60 seconds before the session limit, in other words before a session expires,
a warning message "Session will expire in [n] seconds" will show in the GUI and
will count down.

If the idle session limit generated the message (and the idle session limit is
set to less than the absolute session limit), the user has the option to click
the **Stay Logged In** button to extend the session. If the absolute session
timeout is about to be reached, the user has the option to click the **Log Out Now**
button to return to the login screen or to click **OK** to dismiss the message
and finalize work before logout. All transactions submitted after clicking **OK**
will be processed.

If the user does not click a button on the warning message box, the user is logged
out and the GUI returns to the login screen.

SSO users see the message:

"Your Single sign-on session will expire in [n] seconds. All transactions
submitted after clicking **OK** will be processed. When the session expires,
you will be automatically redirected to the log-in page."

For the GUI theme modification of the notification, refer to the Advanced
Configuration Guide.
