There has been some development and discussion around the login remember me and sessions. I didn’t follow it all I confess, but what I have noticed is that the Administration item on the menu disappears after time.
I assume this is because the session has expired. However, the message on the top right still says ‘Logout’. I also note that the ‘My Account’ menu item is still available and usable. Overall, it is not consistent.
It seems to me that what the session expiring means, needs to be made consistent.
- What state should the system be in when the session expires?
- Should the ‘public’ dashboards / apps be available even when logged out?
- Should it be possible to default to a specified dashboard as the main screen when the session expires or when deliberately logging out?
Personally, for a home system, I am quite happy for the session to never expire, logging in and out is a pest (even with saved credentials). Could this be added as an option?
