Configure authentication session length for learners and admins

Last updated: 3 years ago

LinkedIn Learning allows you to choose the length of time before a user must reinput their corporate credentials (e.g., SSO or non-SSO authentication). A longer session length results in less friction for returning learners and admins, since they won’t have to log in as frequently.

You can choose separate session lengths for two different access methods:

  • Using a browser on desktop or mobile device
  • Using the LinkedIn Learning mobile app

Important to know

Admin functionality isn’t available within the Learning apps. To access Learning Management, use a desktop device.

To configure the login session length for learners and admins:

  1. From Learning Management click Me.

  2. Select Customize from the dropdown.
  3. Click Authentication on the left rail.
  4. From the session length section, select one of the following options:
