Delete active user sessions for the Amazon Web Services access portal and Amazon integrated applications

IAM Identity Center administrators can delete active user sessions. Deleting user sessions enables administrators to revoke access and remove stale sessions when users no longer require or shouldn’t maintain their current authentication state, such as when an employee leaves the organization or their permissions change.

Use the following procedure to view and delete active sessions for an IAM Identity Center user.

Note

Deleting an active session for an IAM Identity Center user doesn't delete any active IAM Role sessions in the Amazon Web Services Management Console or Amazon CLI.

To delete an active session of the Amazon Web Services access portal and IAM Identity Center integrated applications
  1. Open the IAM Identity Center console.

  2. Choose Users.

  3. On the Users page, choose the username of the user whose sessions you want to manage. This takes you to a page with the user’s information.

  4. On the user’s page, choose the Active sessions tab. The number in parentheses next to Active sessions indicates the number of current active sessions for this user.

  5. Select the check boxes beside the sessions that you want to delete, and then choose Delete session. A dialog box appears that confirms you're deleting active sessions for this user. Read the information in the dialog box, and if you want to continue, choose Delete session.

  6. You are returned to the user's page. A green flash bar appears to indicate that the selected sessions were successfully deleted.
