New blog post: New tenant-wide policy for idle session timeout for Microsoft 365 web apps

Former Employee

In a recent blog post, @Namit Gupta shared news announcing idle session timeout for Microsoft 365 web apps - a new tenant-wide timeout policy that automatically signs out users after a period of inactivity. This improves security for users and organizations and prevents exposing sensitive data from unauthorized access.

@Brandy2005 Just so I understand correctly, is your question around whether individual users have an option to turn off idle session timeout? If yes, then we don't provide users to override the tenant-level policy. Although, if the user is coming from a personal device and selects 'Stay signed in?' option at the time of sign in, idle session timeout won't be triggered for that session. Hope that helps!
