Is there a way to exclude certain user accounts from auto logging out due to inactivity if I enable the option? I have a couple user accounts that need to stay logged in but 98% of them need to be logged out if not active to avoid accidents. ---

Yes, but you can't use the in-built auto logout functionality. You will need to do it yourself using the session prop that holds the inactivity time. I've done this myself as I had to keep a generic operator login logged in on specific clients ---
