Hi @gdero - Welcome to the forums.

Is this with the same browser?

if so, it is entirely normal, logins have an expiry (I cant remember the default time).
but if you want to kill the logon session - you need to logout (top right), or wait until it expires

This can be configured in the settings file

sessionExpiryTime: 604800, // in secs, default 7d=604800

Thank you for your answer

However ,I have no parameter "sessionExpiryTime " in my setting.js ; i have tried to add it at the end of my file but i get an error when launching nodered !!!!

Thanks

The settings file is a Javascript file so you have to add sections using JS syntax.
If you what help adding it, an example of where and how you added it would be required to see where you went wrong.

Hi @gdero,

You will add this in the same place you added the auth details.

adminAuth: {
   type: "credentials",
   sessionExpiryTime: 86400, /* Here */
   users: [{
       ....
   }]
},

Don't forget to restart Node RED
