Automatic Logout is a global setting in GoGuardian Org Management that ends active sessions for GoGuardian users after a period of inactivity. Super Users can turn this setting on or off for the entire organization.
Session timeouts protect sensitive student information on unattended devices and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Automatic Logout applies to teachers, admins, and counselors. It does not affect students.
Turn On Automatic Logout
- Go to manage.goguardian.com/products/settings.
- Select the General tab under Product Settings.
- Turn on the Automatic Logout toggle.
- Verify the result: The toggle is on and the setting is saved. All GoGuardian users in your account will be subject to session timeout.
Understand How Automatic Logout Works
A user is considered inactive when there is no keystroke or mouse movement detected within the timeout window. The inactivity window is 60 minutes.
When the timeout triggers, the user’s session ends and they are returned to the sign-in screen.
Automatic Logout is a global setting and cannot be applied to specific users or roles. Turning it on affects all GoGuardian users in the organization.
