[Resolved] Add a session time to logged in users

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I want to make sure the User is logged out after inactivity. I would like to add a session timer as well so the user knows how much time he/she has before he/she has to login again, but the session is restarted every time there is an action on the part of the user, such as click to edit, suspend, or delete a listing.

Solution:

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, you might consider custom codes or other plugins, for example:
