Auto Logout Of Admin Account

Is there a way to set how quickly Sytist auto logs out? We use this software off and on through the entire day. When we leave it for a fairly short period of time we need to log in again. Seems like after about a half hour but I'm not sure. I would prefer it auto logs out after a couple of hours or even not at all. Or perhaps there's outside security risks to consider. I'm not concerned about internal security risks at all.

Click Settings in the main menu then underneath the left menu click edit config file.

On a blank line before the closing PHP tag ?> add this line:

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);

That will make it 3600 seconds, 60 minutes without any activity.

Thanks Tim but sorry to be dense. When I click "Settings" in the main menu, there is no "edit config file" in the left hand column. Doing a search in page, neither word the word "edit" or "config" show up anywhere on the settings page. I found another post here about someone trying to find the "edit config file" and there is a screen shot of the 'settings" page and where the config file is. I see it is supposed to be there in small print at the bottom of the left hand column. It's not there in my Sytist software.

Sorry I didn't realize this is a Sytist Hosted account and you don't have access to that. I have made the change for you.

Hello Tim

Please add more time to the auto log out. If possible set it to 8 hours.
