In the cloud version of Business Central, Microsoft enforces an idle session timeout of approximately 20 minutes of inactivity for security and compliance reasons. This setting is fixed and cannot be modified by administrators. Can Microsoft give us configuration on Business Central Admin Panel and auto log off of the Business Central Session.

I fully support this suggestion. The ability to configure the idle session timeout directly from the Business Central Admin Center would be extremely beneficial for administrators. Different organizations have varying security and operational requirements — some may need shorter timeouts for compliance, while others may prefer longer periods to reduce disruption for users working on lengthy data-entry tasks or reports.Allowing configurable idle session durations (within a secure range) would provide both flexibility and control, aligning Business Central with other Microsoft cloud services like Azure and Dynamics 365 CRM, where session timeout policies can be managed by admins.This enhancement would improve user experience, security governance, and overall administrative control within Business Central SaaS environments.
