Managing Active Sessions

A session is created when a user logs into eLab and ends when that user logs out. The Active Session dialogue box displays a list of the sessions for each user that you have permission to view. Use this dialogue box to determine the users that are currently logged on, those that have forgotten to log out, and those that have not properly logged out of previous sessions.

Use the following steps to close a user’s active session:

Click the Active Sessions button from the Administrative group of the Home tab. The Active Sessions dialogue box is displayed.

Figure 39.2. The Active sessions dialogue box.
Click the checkbox of the row, or rows, corresponding to the sessions that you want to close.
Click the Close Session button.

Note:

The current session is highlighted in yellow.
If a session is unauthorised click the Report to system administrator checkbox to send a report to the system administrator. If you close and report one of your sessions to the system administrator then you will be prompted to change your password.
You can view the details of a session by clicking the details link. A Session Network Details dialogue box is displayed with the network details of that session.
