autologout_alterable

This module provides a way to administrate session limit. The session timeout can be set per user role or by a global session timeout. Just like the module automated logout.

This module, however, also make it possible to easily alter the session timeout by other modules through an eventsystem. That way user last activity and session time left can be controlled by other modules or even other systems. For example in a decoupled setup where session expiry is controlled by a common cross envoirment service. The module works of course also without alterations from other module. Then the administred settings has priority.

Features

• Different timeouts based on role
• Possibility to set explicit timeout per user
• Highly alterable via event system
• Includes a js dialog to be shown on drupal pages if configured to be shown
• Can handle multiple clients (for example multipe tabs) as long as they share the session
• Priveledged users with dedicated permission can have infinite session timeout, still alterable by other modules though.
• Offers an api to update user last activity and to get the session time left.

Post-Installation

This module is in many features based on automated logout but this module offers multiple ways of interact with the module behavior by event system for disable, set last activity or define session expiry time. That can be done both by event system or api.
