General Settings

Overview​

The General Settings page allows tenant and community Administrators to view and set some basic configuration options for their tenants. Basic tenant information is listed here, including the tenant name and community name. Administrators can set how long AdminX user sessions remain valid before users are logged out and redirected to the sign-in page. Administrators can also set their preferred user store, and enable or disable self-registration on their tenant.

To access the General Settings page, please log in to your tenant as an Administrator and click Settings -> General.

Tenant Information​

Administrators can view their tenant name and community name in this section, as well as define the maximum session age for their tenant.

Max Session Age​

The max session age defines how long a session remains valid on your tenant before users are automatically logged out and redirected to the sign-in page. To change the current maximum session age for your tenant, please do the following.

  • Locate Max Session Age and click the pencil icon on the right of the listed minutes.
  • Enter a new maximum session age in minutes, then click save.

Preferred User Stores​

Setting a preferred user store allows tenant and community administrators to choose which user directory to use as their primary user store for their tenant. User profiles will be searched first in the primary user store, followed by the secondary and tertiary stores. Any new user registrations will be added to the primary user store.

Please see the following pages for more information on configuring user directories:
