Sign In and Out
From within the LabKey Sample Manager application, you can log in and out via the user menu in the upper right.
To sign in, enter your email address and password on the next page, then click
Sign In.
When you are logged in, there will be a
Sign Out link on the user menu where
Sign In was before.
When you are signed out, you will be able to view the contents as a guest user would - you can read but not edit or create anything.
If you are using a hosted trial version of Sample Manager, CAS authentication provides single sign on and will automatically log you back in. Choosing Sign Out will sign you out of the application and you can click Return to Application to log back in.
Session Expiration
If your session expires while you are using LabKey Sample Manager, you will see a notification popup with a button to
Reload Page. You will be asked to log in again before completing the action.
The default timeout is 30 minutes of idle time in the browser. Session expiration can also occur if the server restarts in the background.
Similarly, if you log out of LabKey Sample Manager in another browser window, you will be notified of the need to log back in to proceed.
