18.4.1 Edit User Authentication Timeout Settings
This screen allows you to set the default authentication timeout settings for the selected type of user
account. These default authentication timeout settings also control the settings for any existing user
accounts that are set to use the default settings. You can still manually configure any user account’s
authentication timeout settings.
To access this screen, go to the Configuration > Object > User/Group > Setting screen, and click one of
the Default Authentication Timeout Settings section’s Edit icons.

Lease Time Enter the number of minutes this type of user account has to renew the current session before
the user is logged out. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number
of minutes unlimited.
Admin users renew the session every time the main screen refreshes in the Web Configurator.
Access users can renew the session by clicking the Renew button on their screen. If you allow
access users to renew time automatically, the users can select this check box on their screen as
well. In this case, the session is automatically renewed before the lease time expires.
