Session Management Settings


Activation

The Session tab is visible in PassMan if the license required for remote access is active in Padmin. A new tab called Session then appears on the main page.

License

To use session management, install the appropriate license in Padmin. Go to System settings > License, paste the license into New license or select it in New license file, and then select SAVE.

(lightbulb) Before you select SAVE, you can check the license with CHECK. If an error message appears, please contact the person in charge.

If the setup is successful, the Padmin Dashboard shows the following:
