Active sessions: restrict concurrent users for same user and specify session timeout

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/paris-platform-administration/page/administer/security/reference/session-activity-timeout.html


after you have installed the plugin Limit Concurrent Sessions plugin (com.glide.limit.concurrent.sessions)  

these properties need to be set to true: glide.authenticate.limit.concurrent.interactive.sessions
and to the glide.ui.session_timeout value desired (default is 60 mins)

you may wish to run the following fix script and code this business rule also to default the setting:

BUSINESS RULE: default limit_concurrent_sessions to true when creating a new user (exclude integration users if you wish) - before insert and set condition to 'u_service_account=false' or similar

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) { //-- see STRY0010717 current.limit_concurrent_sessions=true; })(current, previous);




FIX SCRIPT: bulk update existing users

var grUsers = new GlideRecord('sys_user'); grUsers.addQuery('u_service_account', 'false'); grUsers.addQuery('limit_concurrent_sessions', 'false'); //grUsers.query(); //gs.print(grUsers.getRowCount()); grUsers.setValue('limit_concurrent_sessions', 'true'); grUsers.updateMultiple();

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
