Description
A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. Once invoked, the session lock shall remain in place until the user re-authenticates. No other system activity aside from re-authentication can unlock the system.
