Advanced Settings: Manage Session and Access Controls

Configure inactivity timeout, session expiration, and default access for new Interact forms to strengthen workspace security in Torq.

Manage your workspace’s session and access settings from the Advanced page in Workspace settings. Enforce stricter session control by automatically logging users out after a period of inactivity and requiring them to log in again periodically. You can also choose who can open newly created Interact forms by default.

Changes to the advanced settings are reflected in the workspace Audit Logs.

Prerequisites

The Workspace Owner role. Only workspace Owners can change these settings.

How to use

To open the settings, click Settings in the sidebar and, under Security, select Advanced.

Set the inactivity timeout

The inactivity timeout logs users out after a period of inactivity in Torq. This helps protect the workspace if a user leaves their session unattended.

When the inactivity period is reached, users see a warning prompting them to stay logged in or log out. If they take no action within two minutes, they’re logged out automatically, and any in-progress work is saved.

  1. Open the Advanced page: In Workspace settings, under Security, select Advanced.

  2. Select a timeout: Under Inactivity timeout, choose a duration:

    • 30 minutes

    • 1 hour

    • 4 hours

    • 8 hours

    • 12 hours (default)

    • 24 hours

Set session expiration

Session expiration sets how long a user can stay logged in to a workspace, even while actively using Torq. After this period, users must log in again.

For example, if session expiration is set to 8 hours, users must log in again after eight hours, even if they’re actively working. Any unsaved work is saved automatically before the session expires.

  1. Open the Advanced page: In Workspace settings, under Security, select Advanced.

  2. Select an expiration period: Under Session expiration, choose a duration:

    • Never (default)

    • 8 hours

    • 12 hours

    • 24 hours

    • 7 days

    • 30 days

Set default access for new Interact forms

Choose who can open newly created Torq Interact forms. The setting applies only to forms created after the change. Existing forms aren’t affected.

  1. Open the Advanced page: In Workspace settings, under Security, select Advanced.

  2. Select the default access: Under Default access for new Interact forms, choose an option:

    • All users (default): All users can open new forms.

    • Owner only: Only the form’s creator and workspace Owners can open new forms. To give access to other users or groups, add them in the form’s settings.
