# Session timeouts

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that today the Spark website has a `4 h` idle timeout that operates in addition to the Keycloak session settings. This will be removed in a future release.

Coherent Assistant does not have this configuration and uses the Keycloak session settings directly.
{% endhint %}

## Update session settings for tenant

1. Login to the target Spark tenant. Access the *Keycloak console* from the [Navigation menu](/navigation/navigation-menu.md#user-menu).
2. Login in the Keycloak Admin Console using your admin credentials.
3. Click *Realm settings* on the left sidebar.
4. Click the *Sessions* tab.
5. *SSO Session Idle* and *SSO Session Max* control the session settings for the entire tenant. These settings apply universally and act as a cap on top of any client specific configurations.
6. Update these values in alignment with your organization preferences and/or requirements.
7. Click **Save**.

## Update session settings per client

Relevant clients relate to applications of note include:

* `academy` for [Coherent Academy](https://coherentacademy.coherent.global/).
* `insights` for [Coherent Insights](https://www.coherent.global/platform/insights).
* `product-factory` that includes [Coherent Spark](/readme.md) and [Coherent Assistant](https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/wa200006757).

The following steps are only required if it is necessary to modify the session settings per Coherent application.

1. Login to the target Spark tenant. Access the *Keycloak console* from the [Navigation menu](/navigation/navigation-menu.md#user-menu).
2. Login in the Keycloak Admin Console using your admin credentials.
3. Click *Realm settings* on the left sidebar.
4. Click the *Sessions* tab.
5. *Client Session Idle* and *Client Session Max* control the default session settings per application.
6. If necessary, the default can be changed that differs from the *SSO Session* settings.
7. Click **Save**.
8. Now click *Clients* in the sidebar.
9. Select the application of interest, e.g. `product-factory`.
10. Click the *Advanced* tab.
11. Under *Advanced settings*, *Client Session Idle* and *Client Session Max* should contain *Inherits realm settings*. These are the settings defined in the *Realm settings Client Session Idle* and *Client Session Max*.
12. If necessary, the settings for the *Client Session Idle* and *Client Session Max* can be changed for the selected application.
13. Click **Save**.
