This article is for global and SharePoint admins in Microsoft 365 who want to control user access to SharePoint and OneDrive data on unmanaged devices. Idle session sign-out lets you specify a time at which users are warned and subsequently signed out of Microsoft 365 after a period of browser inactivity in SharePoint and OneDrive.
Note
Idle session sign-out applies to the entire organization and can't be set for specific sites or users. To target different settings for different users, use Azure AD Conditional Access policies instead (and see the next important note about the Azure AD Premium requirement).
Important
This feature relies on Azure AD Conditional Access policies being available. You will need an Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 subscription for this to work. For more info about this, refer to the announcement in the Azure Active Directory Identity Blog.
Idle session sign-out is one of a number of policies you can use with SharePoint and OneDrive to balance security and user productivity and help keep your data safe regardless where users access the data, what device they're working on, and how secure their network connection is. For more ways to control access in SharePoint and OneDrive, see How SharePoint and OneDrive safeguard your data in the cloud.
The idle session sign-out experience
When a user is inactive in SharePoint and OneDrive for a period of time you specify, the following message appears:
Note
Activity is counted as requests sent to SharePoint, such as mouse clicks on a UI element like a button, list entry, or a link. Moving the mouse and scrolling are not counted as activity.
If users don't select Continue, they are automatically signed out, and the following message appears.
Note
If a user is active in another Microsoft 365 service (such as Outlook), but inactive in SharePoint and OneDrive, they are signed out across Microsoft 365. If a user has multiple tabs to OneDrive and SharePoint sites open at the same time, they won't be signed out unless they are inactive on all the sites. > Users won't be signed out if they selected to stay signed in when they signed in. For info about hiding this option, see Add company branding to your sign-in page in Azure AD. Users won't be signed out on a managed device (one that is compliant or joined to a domain), unless they're using inPrivate mode or a browser other than Edge or Internet Explorer. If they use Google Chrome, you need to use an extension to pass the device state claim. For more info about device state claims, see Azure AD conditional access settings.
Important
Microsoft 365 apps and services will not support Internet Explorer 11 starting August 17, 2021 (Microsoft Teams will not support Internet Explorer 11 earlier, starting November 30, 2020). Learn more. Please note that Internet Explorer 11 will remain a supported browser. Internet Explorer 11 is a component of the Windows operating system and follows the Lifecycle Policy for the product on which it is installed.
