Signing Out

It is important to sign out properly when you finish your work in Civic Platform. Signing out ensures that other users cannot engage in activity that they do not have permission to do. Signing out also prevents other users from seeing information that they do not have permission to see.

To sign out

1. Locate and click the Sign Out link in the upper right-hand corner of your console.

Session Timing Out

Civic Platform has a built-in session timeout mechanism. If your session is inactive for a set period of time, the session times out and Civic Platform automatically signs you out. If your administrator configures a session time-out warning, you have the option to continue the session before it times out.
