Universal Logout

Early Access release

Universal Logout lets you terminate users’ sessions and their tokens for supported apps when Identity Threat Protection identifies a change in risk.

A user session is the time during which a user is authenticated and authorized to access apps secured by Okta. An app session refers to sessions that an app generates to allow users to access the app’s resources.

You can add Universal Logout actions as a response to Continuous Access and Entity risk policy evaluations. See Continuous Access evaluation and Entity risk policy. You can also manually end a user session from the user risk profile. See End a user session.
