Active sessions

A session is a record that a particular device, browser or application has been given access to your account. A session is created when you sign in and lives until it is ended.

The session list — the Active sessions section of the account settings — shows where your account is currently accessible from and lets you take that access away from any device or application except the one you are working in right now.

What a session row shows

Access granted to an external application or an AI agent is marked with an Agent tag, and the session you are currently working in with a Current tag. “Active: date, time” is when that session last talked to PDM.

One session per device

Signing in again from the same device does not spawn new rows — the existing session is reused. So you should never see a long list of identical entries; if you do, they are different browsers, computers or applications.

IP addresses and cities are not shown in the list — go by the device name, the browser and the time of last activity.

How to end a session

Sessions are ended one at a time (End session) or all at once except the current one (End all others).

You cannot end your own current session — to sign out on this device, use the normal sign-out.

What happens afterwards

Access disappears immediately, there is no expiry period to wait out:

• on the device whose session was ended, the next action in the interface throws the user back to the sign-in page;
• the external application or AI agent that worked through that session stops receiving data from PDM and asks for authorization again;
• your work in the current session is not interrupted in any way;
• long-running operations that are already underway (a configuration deploy, a release, a build) are not cancelled — they run on the server and keep going.

Ending an agent session = taking its access away

If you connected PDM to an AI agent, this is exactly where its access is revoked — end the session with the Agent tag. It is the fastest way to stop any action an agent takes in your name.

Why keep an eye on this

• Access control. The list shows every device and every application that can act in your name. An entry you do not recognise is a reason to end it and to tell an administrator.
• Someone else's computer. If you signed in to PDM from a shared or borrowed machine and forgot to sign out, end that session from here.
• Tidy integrations. Applications you no longer use are better disconnected: everything they do is recorded against your account and is limited by your permissions.

An agent's actions are your actions

An external application works strictly within your permissions, but the operation history (builds, releases, workspaces) will show your login. Do not grant access to applications you do not trust.
