Improving your security with shorter Session Length defaults
- Google Cloud Console
- gcloud command-line tool
- Any other app that requires Google Cloud scopes
- Choose from a range of predefined session lengths, or set a custom session length between 1 and 24 hours.
- Configure whether users need just a password, or require a Security Key to re-authenticate.
Third-party SAML identity providers and session length controls
- Admins: For customers who have their session length set to "Never Expire", your session length will reset to 16 hours. It can be turned off or modified at the OU level. Visit the Help Center article to learn how to set session length for Google Cloud services for your organization.
- End users: If a session ends, users will simply need to log in to their account again using the familiar Google login flow.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on March 15, 2023
- Available to all Google Workspace and Cloud Identity customers, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers
