## Which IIQ version are you inquiring about?

_8.x_

Does anyone know how to change the session time/timeout for IdentityIQ?

At one of our client we are using SSO (SAML from Entra ID) for all users and for administrators we use local accounts (passwords in IdentityIQ). Once the session of an administrator is timed-out IdentityIQ goes to the loginpage and the SSO is started, ending up in a non-admin session.

Thanks,

– Remold

It should be a setting in your application server home directory. Please see the compass article here: [Changing the session timeout at build time - Compass](https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityIQ-Wiki/Changing-the-session-timeout-at-build-time/ta-p/80822)
