Removing Logout Tag
This automation forcefully logs out all users on a device. By terminating all sessions, it prevents unauthorized access and enforces compliance with device usage policies.
Use cases
- Securing shared devices in public environments.
- Resetting devices after use by multiple users.
- Enforcing user session policies in sensitive areas.
Recommendations
- Test the automation in a non-production environment to confirm session termination behavior.
- Notify users to save their work before running the automation.
