Auto-timeout of user sessions
Idea Logged
Hi,
Currently Yellowfin has a timeout period set for users who are not interacting with the system, but there is an issue if dashboards are used that auto-refresh.
A user could be logged into the system and dashboard but not ever be logged out.
The scenario would be as follows:
- A User logs in and opens their Yellowfin dashboard. Maybe on a secondary screen for monitoring.
- The dashboard is set so that the reports refresh automatically every 30 second.
- The user leaves their desk or goes home and doesn't log out. Instead they lock their screen.
- The dashboards will continue to refresh and query the database.
- If the source is paid per query (such as Snowflake) then this could rack up unwanted costs.
Would there be a way to set a mandatory timeout period for users regardless of if they are interacting or now?
Or, would there be a way to separate out the requests made as either manual runs of a dashboard or auto-refresh runs made by the system?
