Limit the period of time people with access to your Workspace can stay logged in to ClickUp!

Session management settings apply to any ClickUp account that has access to your Workspace.

You can set one or both of the following options:

• Session duration: Set the period of time people can stay logged in before they will be logged out.

• Idle timeout duration: When people are logged in, but not actively using ClickUp, you can set the period of time before they will be logged out.

For both session and idle timeouts, you'll be notified five minutes before being logged out.

What you'll need

• Session management is available on the Enterprise Plan.

• Only a Workspace owner or admin can access Security & Permissions settings to configure session management for the Workspace.

• Session and idle timeouts apply to any ClickUp account that has access to your Workspace.

• If you've created or joined a Workspace where session management is enforced, it'll apply to your account no matter which Workspace you're actively working in.
• If you've joined more than one Workspace where session management is enforced, the strictest limits (shortest duration) will apply to your account.

Access session management

Workspace owners or admins can access Security & Permissions settings:

2. Select Settings.
3. In the sidebar, click Security & Permissions.
4. From the Session management section, you can set session duration and idle timeout duration.

Set up session duration

The default session duration is Never expires. Changing the session duration from Never expires will immediately sign everyone with access to your Workspace out of their ClickUp account. They will be required to sign back in to start a session with the new duration.
