Administrators of web-based applications need to have access to the information who’s connected to the system and, if required, delete unwanted sessions.
OTRS offers the session management to quickly get an overview of agent and customer sessions, unique agents and customers currently logged in and the ability to kill sessions with just a mouse click.
Use this screen to manage logged in user sessions in the system. The session management screen is available in the Session Management module of the Administration group.
The first widget lists sessions and tokens. Sessions are used for logins to the administrator interface, while logins to the agent interface, to the external interface or to the generic interface use tokens.
The widget List of tokens (one time only) shows special one time tokens used for the password recovery and two-factor setup. These tokens are short-lived and can be used for only a single action.
