Explains how administrators monitor active sessions, terminate user sessions, and view session audit logs.

Active sessions are user sessions that administrators can monitor and manage in the Crosswork Network Controller UI.

As an administrator, you can monitor and manage the active sessions in the Crosswork Network Controller UI, and perform the following actions:

  • Terminate a user session

  • View user audit log

  • Non-admin users with permission to terminate can terminate their own sessions.

  • Non-admin users with read-only permission can only collect the audit log for their sessions.

  • Non-admin users without read permissions cannot view the Active Sessions window.
