Session

The temporary period of user activity on a website, application, or system, starting when the user is authenticated and ending when the user ends the activity or logs out. During a session, the user can interact with various functions, resources and data, perform operations, view information, etc. A user session allows the system to track each user's activity, provide a personalized experience, and provide security by, for example, automatically logging out when the session ends or the user is inactive.
