Description
The Idle Time Resource Usage setting limits the maximum idle time allowed in a session. Idle time is a continuous inactive period during a session, expressed in minutes. Long-running queries and other operations are not subject to this limit. Setting an Idle Time Resource Usage limit helps prevent users from leaving applications open when they are away from their desks.
