3. In the Logon settings section, switch Inherit from parent to Override for the features you want to activate:

   Locks the user out of their Config Tool or Security Desk session after the set period of inactivity. Open tasks remain visible, however, the user must re-enter their password to resume their session.

   Auto disconnect

   Locks the user out and closes their Config Tool or Security Desk session after the set period of inactivity.
