Multiple administrators can access the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) web interface simultaneously, but only one of them can modify the configuration. This means that the configuration of SPS is automatically locked when the first administrator who can modify the configuration opens a configuration page (for example the Basic Settings or the Users & Access Control menu).
The warning message displays the username of the administrator locking the configuration as shown in the image below:
Figure 36: Configuration lock by remote administrator
Other administrators can continue as read-only but must wait until the locking administrator navigates to an SPS page that does not require locking, the administrator logs out, or the session of the administrator times out. However, it is possible to access the Search and Reporting menus, and to perform gateway authentication and 4-eyes authorization or browse the configuration with only View rights (for details, see Managing user rights and usergroups).
NOTE: Accessing SPS using the RPC API or starting a transaction in the REST API locks the configuration similarly to accessing SPS from the web interface.
However, there can be multiple transactions through REST API, simultaneously.
By default, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) terminates the web session of a user after ten minutes of inactivity. To change value of this timeout, adjust the Basic Settings > Management > Web interface timeout option.

You can display a banner with a configurable text on the web and console login screen of SPS.
Users will see the banner every time they try to log in to SPS. The banner text is displayed as plain text on the login screen and whitespace is preserved.
To enter a banner message, navigate to Basic Settings > Management > Authentication banner.
