Configure Idle Timeout

Important:
  • An active Katalon Studio Enterprise (KSE) license.
  • You must be an Admin or Owner of your Account.

You can define how long an open Katalon Studio app with a KSE license can stay inactive before the licensed user is considered idle. Licensed users considered idle will be automatically signed out. This setting impacts all the licensed users in the Organization.

In Katalon TestOps

To enable Idle Timeout, do as follows:
  1. Sign in to TestOps Admin.
  2. On the Account admin menu, select the Security section on the left bar, navigate to the Idle Timeout (Katalon Studio Enterprise) section.
    Idle Timeout
  3. Toggled on Automatically log out inactive users from KSE.

    The Timeout Limit section appears.

    Enable Idle Timeout
  4. In the Timeout Limit dropdown list, choose one of the following options:
    • 1 hour.
    • 3 hours.
    • 6 hours.
    • 12 hours.
    • 24 hours.
    • Custom (in minutes): specify your desired timeout (in minutes).
  5. Set the bypass threshold to limit the number of times that licensed users can resume the session after receiving the idle timeout notification.
    1. By default, Allow Idle Timeout Bypass Limit option is disabled to allow licensed users to resume the session unlimited times. Turn on this section then input the desired bypass limit.
  6. Click Update once finished.

In Katalon Studio

When this setting is applied, Katalon Studio will notify the user 15 minutes before the end of the timeout period or when only a quarter of the time remains, whichever is shorter.

If you leave the bypass section empty in TestOps, idle users receive a notification like this:

Katalon Studio's notification for automatically logging out.

  • To resume the session, click Continue. If you set a bypass limit in TestOps, the notification dialog displays how many times idle users have left to resume the session.

    Katalon Studio's notification for bypassing the automatic log out.

  • To log out immediately, the user can click Log out.

  • If the user does nothing or clicks on the X button to close this notification dialog, the user will be logged out automatically at the end of the timeout period.

    Katalon Studio's notification informing users that they have used up the allowed number of bypasses.
