# Manage sessions in the UI

The AM admin UI lets the administrator view and manage active server-side user sessions by realm by going to Realms > *Realm Name* > Sessions.

![The AM administrator can view and invalidate server-side sessions.](_images/session-management.png)Figure 1. Sessions Page

To search for active sessions, enter a username in the search box. AM retrieves the sessions for the user and displays them within a table. If no active server-side session is found, AM displays a session not found message.

You can end any sessions—except the current `amAdmin` user's session—by selecting it and clicking the Invalidate Selected button. As a result, the user has to authenticate again.

|   | Deleting a user does not automatically remove any of the user's server-side sessions. After deleting a user, check for any sessions for the user and remove them on the Sessions page. |
