Manage User Sessions Page or My Sessions Page

Overview

Use this page to monitor real-time user session information to improve security, detect potential malicious activity, troubleshoot performance issues, and to reset sessions for users who have been locked out of any application connected to the database.

You can switch between views that show details of the currently logged in users sessions, all users' recent sessions in P6, P6 Team Member Web, P6 for Android, P6 for iOS or P6 Professional, and your own session.

A user may be locked out and unable to initiate a session if they have attempted to log in while a session is already running, or if they have repeatedly entered login information incorrectly.

Note

If you reset a user's session while they are using P6, P6 Team Member Web, P6 for Android, P6 for iOS or P6 Professional, their session will be ended and they will need to log back in again. Users of P6 Professional might not be aware that their session has ended for up to five minutes. Data changes they make after their session is ended will be lost. Therefore, it is important to let users know you will be resetting their session before hand wherever possible.
The number of failed attempts users are permitted before they are locked out of the P6 is set in the Primavera P6 Administrator.
Accounts that are locked out, but not reset, will become available after a length of time defined in the Primavera P6 Administrator.

Screen Elements

Actions menu

Reset User: Resets the selected users' sessions. If users are locked out, they are able to initiate a session after users have been reset. To see this menu, you must be logged in as a user assigned the Admin Superuser global security profile.

Caution Oracle recommends that users only be reset if they are locked out. Once a user session has been reset, the user will be returned to the login screen.

Views menu

Current user activity: Lists all active user sessions and all locked out user accounts. This may include several entries for a user if they are logged into multiple applications, from multiple browsers, or from multiple computers.

Recent user activity: Lists information about the most recent session per application for each user during the defined time period. If a user has not logged in during the defined time period, the Last Active Time column for that user is empty. The time period for this view depends on the Interval to store user login information (in days) setting on the Audit tab of the Application Settings page.

My activity: Lists information about your current session.

To see this menu, you must be logged in as a user assigned the Admin Superuser global security profile.
