Required Access
To perform any of the following actions, you must have
Organization Owner access to Atlas.
Configure Session Timeouts
Organization Owners can configure the absolute and idle session timeouts for all users of an organization to comply with security and certification policies.
The absolute session timeout specifies the maximum duration a user can remain logged in to the Atlas UI without re-authenticating. The idle session timeout specifies the maximum duration a user can remain inactive before Atlas logs them out.
Note
This feature is in Public Preview. The feature and the corresponding documentation might change at any time during the Preview period. To learn more, see Preview Features.
Considerations
If a user belongs to multiple organizations, their session inherits the shortest idle and absolute timeouts from across all of them. For example, a user's session combines the shortest absolute timeout from one organization with the shortest idle timeout from another. To view the timeouts that apply to you, see the Personalization page.
Two minutes before an idle session expires, Atlas displays a message allowing the user to continue the session.
Timeout configurations apply only to the Atlas UI. They do not affect:
account access through API keys or service accounts.
sessions where users log in to developer tools like Compass, the Relational Migrator, or the Atlas CLI using their Atlas credentials. A fixed 12-hour session timeout applies instead of the custom values.
sessions where users log in through MongoDB Charts and Atlas App Services directly.
MongoDB SSO-linked services such as MongoDB University and the Support Portal. These services use a 12-hour session timeout.
Important
For the tools and services listed above, sessions might still expire in less than 12 hours if your main Atlas web session ends.
Procedure
In Atlas, go to the Organization Settings page.

Click Save.
The settings apply to the user's next log in.
Add Security Contact Information
Specify a designated Atlas security contact to receive security-related notifications.
Considerations
You can specify only one email address to receive security-related notifications including those from the MongoDB Security Team.
We recommend that you create a mailing list that uses a single address, and specify it as the security contact as a best practice. A mailing list can also send these notifications to multiple users.
Specifying a security contact does not grant them authorization or access to Atlas for security decisions or approvals.
If the account for the security contact gets deleted, the security contact setting is cleared, and the former security contact is shown as the modifier on the related notifications and events.
Procedure
In Atlas, go to the Organization Settings page.
