3. Click **Save**


Step 5 — UI Settings
********************

3. Default Session Timeout for all Users = 2 hours
4. Session Timeout override = Allow unlimited
5. Click **Save**


Step 6 — Setup Authentication and Role Mapping (If Active Directory is needed for your Workshop)
************************************************************************************************
