# Configure session length for a Snyk Group

By default, inactive logged-in users are automatically logged out after 24 hours to protect any account from being exposed inadvertently through user inactivity.

Group admins can change the default session length to any value from five minutes to 30 days.

{% hint style="info" %}
Users who belong to multiple Groups are always logged out automatically after the shortest time configured for any of those Groups.
{% endhint %}

## **Prerequisites for configuring session length**

You must be an administrator of the Group to update the session length.

You must be a customer on a Snyk plan that supports Groups. For more information, see [Plans and pricing](https://snyk.io/plans/).

## **Steps to configure session length**

1. Log in to your Snyk account and navigate to the Group for which you want to configure session length.
2. Navigate to **Settings** to update the Group settings.
3. In the **Session expiration** area, enter values for the session length:

When session length expiration is configured, tracking of session length starts within 60 seconds or when a user logs in, whichever comes first.

See the [Group general settings](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/groups/group-general-settings.md) documentation for more information about Group settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/groups/configure-session-length-for-a-snyk-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
