Active Sessions¶

Active sessions are user login sessions that are currently in progress. The users associated with these sessions are considered to be logged in and can interact with the system in real time.

Characteristics of Active Sessions¶

They have a start time (Logged In) but haven’t reached their end time (Logged Out) yet.
The system considers these users to be currently using the application.
Administrators can see these sessions and have the option to terminate them if necessary.

Information Displayed¶

For each active session, the administrator can see:

Session ID: A unique identifier for the session.
Username: The user who is logged in.
Logged In Time: When the session started.
Logged Out Time: When the session is expected to end.
Terminate Option: Ability to forcibly end the session.

Purpose¶

The Active Sessions view allows administrators to:

Monitor who is currently using the system.
Track how long users have been logged in.
Identify any unusual or prolonged sessions.
Take action (terminate) if they spot any suspicious activity.

Security and Management¶

This feature is crucial for real-time security monitoring and session management, enabling admins to maintain control over who has access to the system at any given moment.

In summary, “Active” in this context refers to the live, ongoing user sessions that the system is currently maintaining and that administrators can monitor and manage in real time.
