# Session Management

**Session management** in SSO involves controlling user session durations to enhance security and user experience.​

* **Session Timeout:** The maximum time a session stays active before automatic logout, requiring re-authentication.​
* **Idle Timeout:** The allowed duration of inactivity before a session expires, automatically logging out the user.​

Hireforce provides flexible options to help you easily configure these settings.
