Disconnect idle users

Set the maximum amount of time that FileMaker clients can be idle when they are connected to a file hosted by FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud. This idle time limit reduces the risk of your files being accessed by an unattended computer or mobile device. However, make sure the idle time is long enough to avoid frequent disconnections.

In FileMaker Pro, in the Edit Privilege Set dialog box, select Disconnect user from server when idle for each privilege set you want disconnected when a user is idle. Because you can set this option for each privilege set, certain users are disconnected when idle and other users will always maintain their connections. In FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go, users logged in with the Full Access privilege set are never disconnected when idle.

To specify the idle time, see "FileMaker client session timeouts" in FileMaker Server Help; and "Setting session timeouts" in FileMaker Cloud Help.
