Post auth session violations widget
The Post Auth Session Violations widget displays statistics and the status of session violations in your org. You can use the information on this widget to watch for spikes in violations or observe patterns over a period of time.
The information that appears in this widget changes depending on how you configure Post Auth Session. It can display statistics on these items:
- Access violations for apps and users
- Global session policies that were blocked
- Logouts, security measures, and any delegated Workflows that were triggered in response to violations
The data in these widgets doesn’t appear in real time and may reflect a delay of up to 15 minutes.
Initial view
Before you configure the Post Auth Session feature, the widget displays basic information about access violations in the initial view:
- Session violations: The number of violations that Post Auth Session has detected
- Users with violations: The number of user accounts in which Post Auth Session violations were detected
- Apps with Post Auth Session violations: The list of apps in which Post Auth Session violations were detected
Okta records access violations in the System Log even if you don’t enable Post Auth Session. If you enable it, different information appears on the widget.
The gray Monitoring status indicator appears at the top of the widget.

Status indicator
The status indicator appears on the Post auth session page and under the dashboard widget titles. It changes depending on how you’ve configured Post auth session:
- Monitoring: This status indicates that Okta is monitoring your org for violations, populating the dashboard widgets, and recording events to the System Log. You haven’t configured a response. This indicator only appears in gray.
- Enforced: This status indicates that Okta is monitoring your org for access violations, populating the dashboard widgets, and recording events to the System Log. You haven’t configured a response. In addition, your policies are enforced, and users may be required to re-authenticate if Post auth session detects an issue. This indicator only appears in green.
- Enforced with action: This status indicates that Okta is monitoring your org for access violations, populating the dashboard widgets, and recording events in the System Log. You’ve configured Post auth session to log users out of Okta or logout-enabled apps, or to launch a Workflow in response.
Logout view
This view appears if you enforce Post Auth Session and select the Logout option as a response. The widget displays the following information:
- App logout triggered: The number of times that app logout was invoked in the specified timeframe
- Security response: The number of actions taken in response to a violation
- Logout by app: The number of logouts that were triggered for each app and the number of unique users affected
