SignOut

Configure sign-out behavior for enterprise users.

By default, shutting the browser down or restarting it for an update signs out the session, so the next launch requires the user to sign in again. Set this policy to lock the session instead, so that returning users only need to unlock it through operating system authentication rather than going through the full SSO sign-in.

  • Shutdown: Controls what happens to the session when the browser shuts down.
    • Action: (required) A string, one of:
      • lock: Lock the session, so the next launch only requires the user to unlock.
      • signout: Sign the session out, so the next launch requires a full sign-in. This is what happens when the policy is not set.
  • Restart: Controls what happens to the session when the browser restarts when applying a pending update.
    • Action: (required) A string, one of:
      • lock: Lock the session, so the next launch only requires the user to unlock.
      • signout: Sign the session out, so the next launch requires a full sign-in. This is what happens when the policy is not set.
