# Set directory-level inactivity timeout

The inactivity timeout setting helps to protect your resources from unauthorized access if users forget to secure their workstation. When a user has been idle for a while, their Azure portal session is automatically signed out. Admins can enforce the maximum idle time before a session is signed out. The inactivity timeout setting applies at the directory level. For more information about directories, see [Active Directory Domain Services Overview](/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/get-started/virtual-dc/active-directory-domain-services-overview).
