Posted on by 80

Hi, I am trying to understand the  difference between Set session timeout and Set Inactivity timeout in Dynamics 365 CE Online?

Can you please help me understand with an example?

I am assuming session timeout happens when the session is inactive and I am not sure why there is Set Inactivity Time out. 

Thanks.

    Hello,

    Inactivity timeout: is the amount of time a user can be inactive before the user's session times out and closes and it only affects user browser sessions. docs.microsoft.com/.../session-idle-timeout

    Session timeout: the session timeout is set to 24 hours, which means that a user does not need to re-enter their login details for up to 24 hours.
