Monitoring your login sessions

Monitoring your login sessions

When you log in to the IBM Cloud® console or IBM Cloud command-line interface by using a user ID, a login session is created. You can review your active and expired login sessions on the Login sessions page, where you can also end an individual session or all active sessions if a login-related credential, such as a refresh token or an IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) cookie is compromised.

You can also review and end your own login sessions from the IAM Users page. In the IBM Cloud console, click Manage > Access (IAM), and select Users. Select your own user from the list, and click View sessions in the Details section to review your login sessions.

Reviewing your login sessions

To review your active and expired login sessions, complete the following steps:

  1. In the IBM Cloud console, go to the Avatar icon Avatar icon > Profile > Login sessions.

  2. Review the list of your login sessions.

    By default, the page shows login sessions with all statuses, not active sessions only. If you want to change your view of the login sessions list and review only your active sessions, select Active sessions from the View dropdown menu.

  3. Click the Table expand icon Table expand icon on a session to view session details.

Ending your login sessions

When you end an active login session, it logs you out and requires your credentials to be entered again. To end your active login session, complete the following steps:

  1. In the IBM Cloud console, go to the Avatar icon Avatar icon > Profile > Login sessions.
  2. Click the Actions icon Actions icon on the session that you want to end and select End session.
  3. Click End session again to confirm that you want to end the session.

Ending all of your login sessions

You can also end all of your active sessions at once. Ending all of your active sessions logs you out of each session, so you can log in again by opening a session and entering your credentials. To end all of your login sessions at once, complete the following steps:

  1. In the IBM Cloud console, go to the Avatar icon Avatar icon > Profile > Login sessions.
  2. Click End all sessions.
  3. Click End all sessions again to confirm that you want to end all of your sessions.
