As a zoom admin I am looking to enable the option "Automatically sign users out after a specified time" under the security settings. I have already contacted the support team with a question about how the sign-out happens, which was answered. However I am still looking for more information, if anyone has had experience on enabling such option.
This article - https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061708 states that "The settings to automatically log you out after a certain amount of time depends on the configuration set by your account owner or admins." however there's no further clarification.
Currently I have no time-out set, meaning that the zoom client for my users stay logged-in indefinitely. However, Okta (which is my SSO/IDP) is configured to reset sessions every 12 hours. To my understanding this means that Zoom will override whatever is coming from Okta, correct? For example my session in browser for my zoom dashboard will keep logged for twelve hours as long as I am active.
I would like to assure that by enabling the option "Set different enforced logout times separately." this will stick with the zoom posture I will define rather than my Okta session policy, allowing for example the clients installed on user's laptop to keep 7 days and web-sessions lasting only 1day.
If there's any further documentation that confirms such behave I would appreciate the guidance, so I can attach to my internal guidelines/policy, to back me up as I make such changes on a global level to my org.
thanks all!
