# Session timeouts

## Update session settings for tenant

1. Sign in to the target Spark tenant. Access the **Keycloak console** from the [Navigation menu](/navigation/navigation-menu.md#user-menu).
2. Select **Realm settings** on the left sidebar.
3. Select the **Sessions** tab.
4. **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.
5. Update these values in alignment with your organization's preferences and requirements.
6. Click **Save**.

## Update session settings per client

Important clients to be aware of:

* `academy` for [Coherent Academy](https://coherentacademy.coherent.global/).
* `insights` for [Coherent Control](https://www.coherent.global/platform/control) and [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. Sign in to the target Spark tenant. Access the **Keycloak console** from the [Navigation menu](/navigation/navigation-menu.md#user-menu).
2. Select **Realm settings** on the left sidebar.
3. Select the **Sessions** tab.
4. **Client Session Idle** and **Client Session Max** control the default session settings per application.
5. If necessary, change the default to be something different from the **SSO Session** settings.
6. Select **Save**.
7. Select **Clients** in the sidebar.
8. Select the application of interest, for example `product-factory`.
9. Select the **Advanced** tab.
10. 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**.
11. If necessary, the settings for the **Client Session Idle** and **Client Session Max** can be changed for the selected application.
12. Select **Save**.
