dataiku logout API

[sangkim]

Is there a way to logout a user via API in Dataiku, other than using the UI-based logout method? If not, are there any alternative methods available?

What are you trying to achieve? 

[sangkim]

I would like to approach developing user control for the Dataiku system through API or code development rather than UI-based logout during the development process.

[Turribeach]

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "developing user control". What's a user control? What are you trying to develop?

[sangkim]

If a DATAIKU user remains logged in without any activity for an extended period, I want to implement a feature that forces a logout.

[Turribeach]

There is already a built-in feature for that:

[sangkim]

WOW!!! thank you  but.. 
In the given context, there is a statement in the warning message: "Enabling sessions expiration also means that all user sessions are always terminated each time the DSS backend restarts." Is there a way to log out only specific users who have been inactive for a long period of time, rather than expiring all user sessions?

[Turribeach · Accepted solution]

Expiring all user sessions only happens when you restart the DSS backend and enable session expiration. If you don't want that don't restart the DSS backend. Or don't enable session expiration.
