Manage active sessions

A session corresponds to the time a user spends on an application from one user agent (e.g., browser) instance. We can consider one session as the time interval between a user's login and logout.

Asgardeo maintains user sessions based on session cookies. Active sessions in Asgardeo are terminated in the following instances:

• User closes the browser
• User tries to terminate the sessions via the Asgardeo Console and My Account
• User logs out of an application
• User resets the password

Active sessions can be terminated explicitly by using the session management APIs as well.

An administrator or an owner can view and terminate the active session(s) of users via the Asgardeo Console.
