How to set session timeout
Hi everyone,

How do you set the session timeout within the web.config?

Is the following code correct?
```
 <sessionState timeout = "15" mode="InProc" customProvider="DefaultSessionProvider">
```

Hi Bruce,

Have a look at the docs to edit the session time out of backoffice users:

https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Config/webconfig/#umbracotimeoutinminutes

You have to set the following:
```
<add key="umbracoTimeOutInMinutes" value="20" />
```
Hope this helps!

Thanks Michael,

I'm looking to set the Session timeout, not the user time out.

Hi Tom,

this is also a session timeout, when Umbraco doesn't receive any request during this timerange the user will need to re-login.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tom,

That is correct. In the timeout property you can specify the number of minutes for a ASP.NET session to timeout. The default value is 20
