Zendesk Session Duration with SSO

Zendesk sessions last 8 hours of inactivity. Log out manually to end the session sooner.

How long does a Zendesk session remain active?

A Zendesk session remains active for 8 hours of inactivity before automatically logging out.

If you are using Zendesk with Single Sign On (SSO), your session will stay active as long as you don't log out manually or clear your cache and cookies. However, after 8 hours of inactivity, you will be automatically logged out. This ensures that your account remains secure even if you forget to log out.
