About the Node-red Login WEB, i find the configuration "adminAuth sessionExpiryTimeon" in settings.js for login session expiry time. I wonder if it has function for the session timeout time to set for Node-red login.If no one are edit on the node-red, then Log out at the end of the timeout.

Hi @pangda, no, there is no timeout like that. `sessionExpiryTime` is the only option available - to change how long a session lasts (in seconds). The default value is 1 week. Activity in the editor doesn't change anything about the expiry.
