+Chef Automate has an optional session timeout configuration for signing out idle workstations. Chef Automate measure session activity as any interaction from a workstation, from a mouse, keyboard, or touchpad. With session timeout enabled, Chef Automate signs out idle workstations after a set number of minutes.
+
+To enable session_timeout in Chef Automate:
+
+- Set the value of `enable_idle_timeout` property to **true** in *config.toml* file.
+- Set the value of `idle_timeout_minutes` property to your desired time in minutes(for example **30**). (Setting the value of this property to **30** will set the session timeout time to 30 minutes).
+
+{{< note >}}
+The minimum value of `idle_timeout_minutes` can be 5 minutes.
+{{< /note >}}
+
+This example sets the session timeout to 30 minutes, which means that Chef Automate signs out any connected workstation after 30 minutes of inactivity:
+
+```toml
+[global.v1]
+  [global.v1.session_settings]
+    enable_idle_timeout = true
+    idle_timeout_minutes = 30
+```
