Does anyone have an idea how the sessions of a user being logged in via the admin portal or via the contrib-users node could be limited to a certain period, i.e. how to realize an "auto-logout", maybe via setting an expiration to the cookies?

solved it myself, so just in case someone might have a similar question: You can edit the expiration (milliseconds, set to one week) in the library.
