Hi,

We are using Elastic Cloud and are kind of frustrated by how quickly it logs us out. Is there a way to change that?

I saw in the docs there is this: [Session management | Kibana Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security-session-management.html#xpack-security-session-management)

But im not sure how to change that for the cloud version of the product?

Hi Mike,

You can configure those settings by following Manage this deployment-\>Edit-\>edit user settings at Kibana.

And you can customize those time intervals there.
