# Configuring the session timeout

By default, Delegated Admin has an idle session timeout value of 30 minutes. To adjust this value, perform the following steps.

## Steps

1. Open the `config.js` configuration file in a text editor.

2. Add the following line to the configuration file:

   ```
   window.TIMEOUT_LENGTH_MINS=<TimeoutValue>;
   ```

   *\<TimeoutValue>* is an integer that represents the session timeout value in minutes.

   To view an example outline that features this setting, see `example.config.js`.

3. Save your changes to `config.js`.
