It may take a few minutes for the Defense Center to synchronize with its managed devices.
Configuring User Interface Settings
License: 
Any
Unattended login sessions of the FireSIGHT System web interface or command line interface may be 
security risks. You can configure, in minutes, the amount of idle time before a user’s login session times 
out due to inactivity. You can also set a similar timeout for shell (command line) sessions. 
Your deployment may have users who plan to passively, securely monitor the web interface for long 
periods of time. You can exempt users from the web interface session timeout with a user configuration 
option. (Users with the Administrator role, whose complete access to menu options poses an extra risk 
if compromised, cannot be made exempt from session timeouts.) For more information, see 
.
For cases in which you must restrict shell access to the system, a third option allows you to permanently 
disable the 
expert
 command in the command line. Disabling expert mode on an appliance prevents any 
user, even users with Configuration shell access, from going into expert mode in the shell. When a user 
goes into expert mode on the command line, the user can run any Linux command appropriate to the 
shell. When not in expert mode, command line users can only run the commands provided by the 
command line interface. Note that the command line interface is not supported for Series 2 appliances.
For more information on command line interface commands, see 
For information on setting up users for command line access, see 
 (for virtual device CLI user management).
