Auto Logout Idle User

Automatically log out users after a period of inactivity to protect unattended Odoo sessions. Configured by admin from General Settings.


Configuration

Navigate to Settings → General Settings and find the Auto Logout section. Enable the feature and set the idle timeout in minutes. Click Save.

Auto Logout Settings

Features

🔒 Admin-Controlled Global Setting

The idle timeout is configured from General Settings by the administrator. The setting applies globally to all users. No per-user configuration needed.

🚫 Silent Background Operation

No countdown timer, no popup, no visible indicator on the page. The module runs entirely in the background as a lightweight JavaScript service.

🎯 Smart Activity Detection

The idle timer resets on mouse clicks, keyboard input, and window focus events. Uses Odoo's built-in presence service for reliable activity tracking.

💻 Multi-Tab Awareness

Activity in any open Odoo browser tab resets the idle timer across all tabs for the same session. No false logouts while working in another tab.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I close my laptop or the system goes to sleep?

The elapsed time still counts. When the system wakes up and the browser resumes, the idle period will exceed the threshold and a logout is triggered immediately.

Q: Does mouse movement (without clicking) reset the timer?

No. Only mouse clicks, keyboard input, and switching to the Odoo tab reset the timer.

Q: Does this module slow down the website?

No. The service performs a single comparison every 5 seconds with zero network calls. It has no measurable impact on performance.

Q: Can individual users override the timeout?

No. The timeout is a global setting controlled by the administrator. It applies equally to all users.

Q: What is the minimum timeout I can set?

1 minute. The module enforces a minimum of 60 seconds regardless of the value entered.
