[CMMC] Distinguish between Active and Inactive User Sessions Merged

In response to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance, we need to distinguish between Active and Inactive user sessions in the ELM Suite. CMMC Finding AC.3.019 requires that inactive user sessions be terminated after a specific time of non activity. Since there is no current distinction between active and inactive sessions, active users in the tools have their sessions terminated in the same short period as inactive users. This short time period is causing frustration as active users are continually having to reauthenticate several times throughout the day.

    Thank you for submitting this RFE for distinguishing between active and inactive user sessions. It appears that the timeout described in the RFE is a result of the authentication token timing out, not due to an inactive session. This value can be set in the Admin page to increase the length of the timeout if desired (default is 2 hours).
    Also, this item appears to be nearly the same as https://ibm-ai-apps.ideas.ibm.com//ideas/ELMSWAT-I-6 (which is currently under consideration) so it is being marked as a Duplicate.
