View or Change the GUI timeout

This is the idle-session timeout for the Web GUI: how long a logged-in user can be inactive before they are logged out automatically. It is a single setting stored internally in milliseconds — “User timeout” and “Session timeout” shown below are the same value displayed in two units (ms and seconds), not two independent settings.

Note

This is unrelated to the Console timeout, which only governs idle logout on the System Console.
