Prevent Auto-Logout

Ignition

Is there a way to prevent a client from automatically logging out after 5 minutes? Instead I’d rather have some sort of default, read-only user log in automatically.

Thanks.

Take a look in your client timer scripts. There’s one there that monitors inactivity. You can set the time to whatever you wish, or disable the script completely. I reworked one to go back to a default user if one with elevated privileges logged in.

Hope this helps!

JordanCClark is spot on. You would want to alter the timer script to use system.security.switchUser to change the currently logged in to the read-only user you created instead of calling system.security.logout

Thanks, as always. I never would have thought to look there for this functionality.
